Jean-Marie Auradon was a French photographer born in the Languedoc region. He moved to Paris and became renowned for his large-scale nude photography, which he often posed in a manner reminiscent of classical sculpture. His work is associated with the Pictorialist tradition but also engaged with modern aesthetics. He was a co-founder of the 'Groupe des XV' and exhibited his work at major salons such as the Salon International D'Art Photographique de Paris in 1930 and 1936.^[1,2,3,4]
