art - What photographer took this mid 20th-century color photograph?


Can anyone please identify who is the photographer of this picture and what is the name of the picture?


It appears taken in middle of 20th century (1950s?) in a rural place. It looks like summer. A young blonde girl is lying naked on a chair, in front of a window. Outside the window there is a yellow field and in the back, after the field, there is a man standing next to a blue car. The style is painting-like, and it's hard to tell if it's even really a photograph in the low-quality jpeg image I've found.


This is the photograph, which may not be "workplace safe", as it contains some nudity: http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/5558/pic025v.jpg



Answer



Just do an image search with google on that url


http://www.google.com/imghp


and it will offer to search by image.


Which results in:




Best guess for this image: Saul Leiter



and, following some of the results, the title "Lanesville, 1958".
