We have another fashion photography show. This time its in New York and features photographs from 1923-1937. From Gary Cooper to Greta Garbo, Edward Steichen captured the fashion of the time and made some of the most iconic portraits of early Hollywood's stars. He managed to cement in the public consciousness a new vision of the emerging American woman through Condé Nast's publications.
Steichen worked with Alfred Stieglitz early in his career, and Steiglitz's pictorialist influence can be felt throughout his work. With this background, Steichen amalgamates fashion and art photography in such an agile way that allows his photographs to feel fresh today.
