{"product_id":"the-photographic-art-of-hoyningenhuene","title":"The Photographic Art of Hoyningen-Huene","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorge Hoyningen-Huene was born into the privileged world of the Russian aristocracy at the turn of the century. In Paris  as a refugee from the Revolution  he worked for Vogue  first as an illustrator and then as a supremely successful fashion photographer. Confidently  even imperiously  he created unprecedented images of perfect elegance by means of models  clothes  and  above all  the manipulation of light. Moving in the 1930s to Harpers Bazaar  he extended his range to portraiture and travel  capturing artists  composers  Hollywood stars  and the landscapes of Africa  Greece  Egypt  and Mexico in timeless visions of classical harmony. Two hundred and twenty-five superbly reproduced color and duotone illustrations display the full range of Hoyningen-Huenes talent. They have been chosen by William A. Ewing  Director of the Musee de lElysee in Lausanne  who also provides an account of the photographers career  drawing extensively on his unpublished memoirs. He shows how Hoyningen-Huenes style and techniques were shaped by his aristocratic upbringing  by his collaboration with Man Ray  by his intimate contacts with the artistic milieu of 1920s Paris  and by the influence of the photographers Edward Steichen and Baron de Meyer. Little-known aspects of his life  such as his work in Hollywood as color coordinator for George Cukor  are discussed. The text concludes with a survey of his importance for photographers as diverse and distinguished as Avedon  Penn  and Horst.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966790889525,"sku":"ByrdShop_0500280355","price":83.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780500280355.jpg?v=1770580548","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-photographic-art-of-hoyningenhuene","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
