Samenvatting
Introductory article on the history of Fashion Photography,
beginning with Steichen's 1927 study of Marion Morehouse in a
Cheruit gown. The author locates its proto-history in
carte-de-visites of celebrities which sold in their millions
from the late 1850's onwards. Next step is the appearance of
Vogue and similar magazines, with Baron Adolph de Meyer as chief
photographer (1914) followed by Hoyningen-Huene, Cecil Beaton,
and Steichen till the start of WW II. The author analyses the
contents of this fashion-photography, 'then anchored to the
bedrock of portraiture'. Other influences mentioned: the
snapshot (Martin Munkacsi, 1934) and Surrealism (Man Ray and
Erwin Blumenfeld).
