I made a long research about the artist and there is no doubt it’s a German artist named Gaglemann who make these illustrations for private clients. I was in contact with people who saw original illustrations.

Now I know the name I'll research further myself so thanks for that.

During your research did you come across other names attributed to the artist of these illustrations? Alternatively did Gaglemann use other pseudonyms?

The style and content of these watercolour illustrations I find fascinating because of the etheral beauty as well as the eroticism. I have others that appear to have been manipulated or doctored, so is there a catalogue of Gaglemann's work that is to hand?

Thanks again.

The name is actually "Gagelmann" - Gert Gagelmann. He appears to have been a German fashion illustrator, and what you'll find on the web are a set of Nazi era postcards " 'Frauen schaffen für euch" ( "women work for you"). He also did illustrations for the German fashion magazine "Styl" and "Die Mode". The famous enema erotica series can most often be found attributed to "unknown", or "Julie Delcourt", sometimes also 'German" or "Herman".

Gagelmann's work certainly looks similar to that of "Julie Delcourt", but I don't know enough to say that its actually the same hand, CMM has done more research than I. Way back up this thread, I got caught out attributing the "Julie Delcourt" enema art to Bernard Montorgueil -- I thought it looked a lot like that too, but I was wrong on that. So I conclude "could be, but I can't tell". Trying to do art attributions based on style alone-- well that trips up experts all the time.

Even with intensive googling -- and what's better than googling Gagelmann?-- not much turns up. Anyone with access to a good German library might look up the
"Vollmer Künstlerlexikon", E.A.Seemann Verlag, Leipzig 1953-1958.

-- this is a six volume dictionary of German visual arts of the twentieth century. Google says there's a Gagelmann entry, but you can't read online.

Here's one of Gagelmann's 1940s postcards. I do see a similarity of line and technique to the erotica; but the famous enema series must have been done many years earlier, and so some differences to be expected



and one of his fashion plates, note a more delicate style compared with the postcards, but still the same idea. He likes women's legs, and they are always carefully posed, not flat footed, and with a fashion/fetish interest and detail in shoes.

Thanks for this information deepsepia. Julie Delcourt was the name I have come across too. I just didn't want to mention that name to see what others came up with. I agree, Gagelmann's beautiful postcard from 1943 has all the hallmarks of those images that I posted. I'd like to see others so I'll keep searching. Thanks again for your input.
