![]() ![]() Several women are masturbating, a rare occurrence in classical nude photography but one found in Schiele’s drawings or Balthus’ paintings. ![]() Leiter photographs two women in bed together, one dressed in a man’s shirt, the other in a feminine negligee. They are dressing, undressing, pulling a skirt’s zipper, unbuttoning a blouse, or simply daydreaming. ![]() One is pensively holding a cup of coffee, another still has rollers in her hair, her face creased by the pillow one is rolling down her black stockings, another is lying on the floor against a background of slightly out-of-focus and crumpled news- paper sheets. They are waking up, taking a bath, applying lipstick or makeup, smoking the first cigarette of the day. These women are completely natural in front of Leiter’s camera, and uninhibited. Leiter’s nudes have a spontaneous and romantic quality, like the scattered pages of a diary, or stills from early movies. ![]()
