Atelier Manassé, Wien. Champagne, 1920s.

Atelier Manasse was a legendary Austrian photo studio that captured the golden age of cinema and cabaret in Vienna of the 1920’s and 1930’s. The studio, active in Vienna between 1922 and 1938, was founded by husband and wife Adorján von Wlássics (1893-1946) and Olga Spolarics (1896-1969). 

It’s worth noting it was Olga Spolarics who specialised in Manasse’s trademark dreamlike erotic photography, whereas it was her husband Adorján von Wlássics who mostly photographed the celebs–so the eroticism is very much through a female lens. (x)
