Irving Klaw Photographs: Pinup, Burlesque and Fetish

Product Information

In February of 1983, Harmony released what it supposed was the last of its Irving Klaw magazines the ninth in the series. It seemed evident that the vast archive of Klaw material had at that point been exhausted. Inspired by John Willie, [12] Klaw also commissioned and distributed illustrated adventure/bondage chapter serials by fetish artists Eric Stanton, Gene Bilbrew, Adolfo Ruiz, and others. Desde joven, Bettie mostró gran interés por el cine y la vida de modelo, llegando a ser la coordinadora del grupo de Arte Dramático de su instituto en sus años adolescentes. En 1943, a los veinte años, se casó con Billy Neal, con el que se trasladó a San Francisco, lugar en el que le ofrecieron el primer trabajo como modelo de abrigos. Vintage Irving Klaw publicity shot of actress Acquanetta (July 17, 1921 – August 16, 2004) for the movie "Tarzan and the Leopard Woman" which released in 1946.

Pointing to the Kirby sketch, Ditko might have disparaged the web gun Kirby’s character was brandishing: “That idea is old.” Starting March 12, a collection of vintage and unadulterated pinups from the Klaws will go on view at No Name Cinema, a fiercely independent microcinema and exhibition space committed to the experimental and avant-garde. Technically, there has been some image processing to remove scratches and blemishes from the originals, plus a little contract and brightness stretching. Wrote Amber: “My father contributed to the costume, the idea of the web shooting out of Spider-Man's wrist, and the movement which he made with his hands to release the web. ... I still remember my father's beautiful, strong, broad hands as he showed me the movement that makes Spider-Man's web release from his wrist. It was just like my dad to come up with something like that. If you knew my father it would make sense that he had a hand in Spider-Man.” The Stanton-Ditko studio lasted until 1968, when they both set out again on their own. That year, Stanton met Britt Stromsted, a Norwegian woman visiting the U.S. Unlike Grace, Britt was fascinated by Stanton’s artistry, and she even modeled in wrestling poses with Stanton, photos he’d use as references when drawing fighting femmes.

Klaw relocated to Florida where he briefly returned to filmmaking in 1963, producing two films: Larry Wolk's Intimate Diary of an Artist's Model and Nature's Sweethearts, co-directing the latter. Photographer Bunny Yeager worked closely with him during this period. She had multiple duties on these films, including casting, writing dialog, etc. Unlike his previous movies, both pictures were exploitation "nudie cuties" that featured a number of topless women. Irving continued to photograph bondage in Miami as well, with models like Maria Stinger. Almost at once Stanton recognized that art provided a unique satisfaction he did not experience in real life: not only access to a special fantasy world, but a sense of personal power: ‘I had control ... I could have the people I drew do anything I wanted’ he reflected in later years. ‘I was king of my world.’ Control and powerlessness—as mirrored in the secret subculture of the sexual fantasist–would become a major theme in his art. [...] Together he and Ditko would have ‘skull sessions’ and choreograph many of the great action sequences throughout the books.” These images I beleive to have been taken by Irving Klaw en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Klaw and show a very young Bambi as a brunette, probably from her very early days at Le Carrousel in Paris. Irving Klaw died Labor Day weekend, 1966 due to complictions from an untreated appendicitis. He was survived by two sons, Arthur and Jeffrey. -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Klaw [Jun 2005]
