1991 Appearances: Fashion Photography since 1945

Description

Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Pleasing Copy, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

The first edition of this work by Martin Harrison. 

A very charming volume on the development of post-war fashion photography, published to coincide with an exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum. 

This is the first work to place fashion photography in the main stream of popular culture, linking fashion to the photography of such influential figures as Walker Evans and Robert Frank. 

Harrison explores the role of magazine culture and the influences of the great art directors and editors, who have both created and reflected the mood and tones of the post-war decades. 

Featuring some of the greatest figures in the field: from Richard Avedon and Irving Penn to Bruce Weber, this volume includes some of the most famous fashion photographs of the twentieth century, as well as many rare and long-lost images. 

Illustrated with a copious amount of photographs both in colour and in black and white. With the unclipped dustwrapper.
