Spectacular 20th century photography from the Kinsey Institute collection at Indiana University … famed sexologist Alfred Kinsey began collecting art in 1947 and was always interested in exploring the different faces of human sexuality. At the time, the political environment made the exhibition and commercialization of this kind of art difficult in countries like the United States and several European ones because their content was deemed as immoral and aggressive but through the support of the Rockefeller Foundation and National Research Council, he was able to start his pioneering collection soon after the end of the Second World War.
A favorite image of mine but I don’t know any details other than it dates from about 1955 and was taken at a French fry stand at an American state or county fair or perhaps a British version of the same … the couple is adorable!
