| book description |

A revelatory book about the life and work of an important fashion photographer and artist Erwin Blumenfeld (1897â€“1969) was one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. His work offers a unique perspective on the society and politics of the 1930s through the 60s. Â Born in Berlin, Blumenfeldâ€™s peripatetic career took him first to Amsterdam and then to Paris, where his work in fashion photography began at Vogue in 1938.Â After two years in a French concentration camp, he made his way to the United StatesÂ and established himself as an eminent fashion photographer. Â Over one hundred of his photographs featured on the covers of prominent fashion and general interest magazines, including Â Vogue, Harperâ€™s Bazaar, Life, Look, and Cosmopolitan. Often minimalist, mainly in color, these photographs testify to Blumenfeldâ€™s lifelong interest in experimentation. Â This landmark publication broadens our understanding of Blumenfeldâ€™s innovations, reuniting all the media used by the artist throughout his long career: drawing, photography, photomontage, and collage. The motifs of his experimental, sometimes overtly political, black-and-white photographs appear alongside numerous self-portraits and celebrity portraits, as well as the fashion photographs for which he is most known.Â Presenting some 150 images, this book provides a fresh understanding of Blumenfeldâ€™s photography for the commercial worlds of fashion and advertising. Distributed for Editions Hazan, Paris Exhibition Schedule: Jeu de Paume (10/15/13â€“01/26/14)
