Más información sobre el libro
This lavish celebration explores the intersection of fashion photography and European art historical tradition, showcasing 67 carefully selected images from the Vogue archive. Spanning eight decades, the volume highlights fashion photographs inspired by classical painting, revealing how these images have evolved beyond mere commercialism. From direct homages to artists like Vermeer and Hopper to more subtle references, the photographs draw from Spanish Golden Age, Dutch portraiture, Victorian, and Pre-Raphaelite works, as well as various European royal collections. Traces of artists such as Constable, Zurbaran, and Sorolla enrich the collection, featuring iconic photographers like Irving Penn, Annie Leibovitz, and Mario Testino alongside newer talents. While some images mimic classical styles, others share a technical approach or aim to celebrate women without objectifying them. With a stunning tipped-on cover and insightful text by Lucy Davies, this volume is as beautifully produced as the photographs it contains, inviting readers to appreciate the artistic dialogue between fashion and fine art.
