"All of these photographs have a textural softness peculiarly his [Munkácsi's] own and unusual in nude photography. There is none of the glossy sleekness and glaring tonal contrasts characteristic of most of this kind of work. Munkacsi attains the softness through the use of restrained, yet dramatic lighting and light overall pattern which gives the illusion of seeing some of the photographs through a gossamer net." (zitiert nach John Rawlings, in: Nudes by Martin Munkácsi, New York ca. 1951, S. 7)
