About the Item

Ed. of 21, estate-stamped. Includes black frame. Norman Parkinson was the preeminent fashion photographer in Great Britain from the late 1930s until his death in 1990. Born in 1913, Norman Parkinson was apprenticed to a portrait photographer and by the age of twenty-one opened his own studio. He soon began to work for the British edition of Harper’s Bazaar and throughout his long career he contributed to many publications, including Vogue, Queen, and Town and Country. His work became famous for the liveliness, spontaneity and humor of his photographs, as well as for the creative use of his outdoor locations. His work has the ability to capture accurately the spirit of the period in which he is working, always conveying amusement, and joie de vivre. He pioneered epic storytelling in his images, taking portrait and fashion photography beyond the stiff formality of his predecessors and injecting an easy and casual elegance into the art. His photographs created the age of the supermodel and made him the photographer of choice for celebrities, artists, Presidents and Prime Ministers. He was a permanent fixture at historic moments photographing the British Royal Family, in private and public, as well as leading figures from the worlds of film, theatre, and music. Subjects include Audrey Hepburn, The Beatles, Twiggy, Grace Coddington, David Bowie, Iman, Jerry Hall and countless others.
