Modern Color Photography
MODERN STYLE
The first decades of the 20th century were a period of artistic upheaval, with modern art movements including Cubism, Surrealism, Futurism and Dadaism questioning centuries of traditional views of what art should be. Using abstraction, experimental forms and interdisciplinary techniques, painters, sculptors, photographers, printmakers and performance artists all pushed the boundaries of creative expression.
Major exhibitions, like the 1913 Armory Show in New York City — also known as the “International Exhibition of Modern Art,” in which works like the radically angular Nude Descending a Staircase by Marcel Duchamp caused a sensation — challenged the perspective of viewers and critics and heralded the arrival of modern art in the United States. But the movement’s revolutionary spirit took shape in the 19th century.
The Industrial Revolution, which ushered in new technology and cultural conditions across the world, transformed art from something mostly commissioned by the wealthy or the church to work that responded to personal experiences. The Impressionist style emerged in 1860s France with artists like Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne and Edgar Degas quickly painting works that captured moments of light and urban life. Around the same time in England, the Pre-Raphaelites, like Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, borrowed from late medieval and early Renaissance art to imbue their art with symbolism and modern ideas of beauty.
Emerging from this disruption of the artistic status quo, modern art went further in rejecting conventions and embracing innovation. The bold legacy of leading modern artists Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dalí, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall, Piet Mondrian and many others continues to inform visual culture today.

This picture was taken on the first day of filming, as Senatra walked from his hotel at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach to the set of ‘The Lady in Cement’. “This was the first time I ever saw Frank and I was astonished by the mere power of his presence, mesmerizing the crowd as he walked casually past." - Terry O'Neill
Terry O'Neill CBE (1938-2019) was an eminent English photographer known for his masterful documentation of the 1960s fashions, styles, and celebrities. Born in London, his artistry deftly exhibited the keenness of capturing his subjects in candid moments or unconventional environments, reflecting a compelling narrative that was both revealing and authentic.
O'Neill's photographic legacy spans across prominent personalities, including influential figures such as Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, iconic musicians like Frank Sinatra, Elvis, and Amy Winehouse, eminent actresses like Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot, supermodel Kate Moss, and every James Bond from Sean Connery to Pierce Brosnan. This diversity underscores O'Neill's proficiency in embracing the breadth of fame and human charisma.
His extraordinary contribution to photography won him The Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal in 2011, a testament to his enduring influence. His work has graced numerous exhibitions, contributing to the art form's rich history. Terry O'Neill's indelible mark on photographic art continues to be celebrated at IFAC Arts, and elsewhere.
