Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"More than any other photographer, he captured the charm, intelligence, and humor of great feminine beauty, qualities abundantly on display here. . . . Parkinson always insisted that he was a craftsman, not an artist, and he'd have dismissed the critic John Russell Taylor's assessment that he was Sargent's 'logical successor.' We shouldn't." "Atlantic Monthly""

"Fine reproduction of the photos and Muir's excellent essay add sturdy reinforcement." "Library Journal""

Reseña del editor:

The unrivaled portfolio of one of the 20th century's great fashion photographers is examined in this survey featuring dazzlingoriginal prints from Parkinson's own archiveFrom his first outdoor fashion shoot in 1935, Norman Parkinson's "moving pictures taken with a still camera" brought glamour and inventiveness to fashion photography. He set the New Look against the New York skyline, Quant dresses in swinging London, and Calvin Klein and Krizia in exotic locations from Tahiti to Tobago. "If a girl looks like a model, she is not for my lens," said Parks. He wanted energy and individuality, and found it in women like Wenda, the willowy actress he married in 1947, Celia Hammond, Jerry Hall, Iman, and Appollonia van Ravenstein. Parkinson's long association withVogue and his numerous assignments for Harper's Bazaar, Queen, and other international magazines brought him fame and recognitionin return he gave the fashion world ineffable style and unforgettable images.
