Description: "Louise Dahl-Wolfe opens a window onto the work of one of the most influential fashion photographers of the twentieth century. After being discovered by Edward Steichen and having her work exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1937, Louise Dahl-Wolfe went on to revitalize the Hollywood portrait and invigorate the fashion photography of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s. During her tenure at Harper's Bazaar -- which lasted over two decades -- Dahl-Wolfe pioneered the use of natural lighting in fashion photography, shooting on location and outdoors. Her modernist outlook changed American visual culture, influencing a school of artists -- namely Richard Avedon, Horst P. Horst, and Irving Penn. Spanning over thirty years, this survey takes into account Dahl-Wolfe's work not just in fashion, but also in portraiture and nude photography"--Publisher's description.
