Summary
Albert Arthur Allen, a photographer and painter from Grafton, Massachusetts, suffered from Rheumatoid Arthritis and transitioned from painting to photography in 1916. He encountered legal issues for distributing nude photographs but eventually became a pioneer fine art photographer, also contributing to the establishment of a nudist club in California and the creation of a nudist resort. Allen's photographic work and advocacy focused on promoting cultural acceptance of the human form and nudism, and he passed away in 1962.
