Lillian Bassman & Paul Himmel

A revised edition of the award-winning publication accompanying the first major retrospective. The work of Lillian Bassman (1917-2012) exudes a captivating elegance and a sure sense of style. As long-standing art director for Harper's Bazaar , she shaped the style of fashion photography of the 1940s to 1960s. By experimenting with various photographic exposures and darkroom techniques, she lent her black and white photographs a unique, almost painterly quality. The urge to experiment also hallmarks the work of her husband Paul Himmel (1914-2009), who worked for Vogue , Harper's Bazaar , and many other magazines during the course of his career.
