Lisa Fonssagrives: Three Decades of Classic Fashion Photography (Book)

About the Item

By David Seidner & Martin Harrison Lisa Fonssagrives was one of the greatest fashion models of the twentieth century and muse to some of the most influential photographers - including Horst, Man Ray, Richard Avedon and her husband Irving Penn. She featured in some of the most famous fashion photographs of the 20th century. This book brings together some of these photographs together with an undiscovered collection many of which are rare which belonged to Fonssagrives herself. Together with a biographical essay by renowned photo historian Martin Harrison, the book provides a glorious introduction to the golden age of fashion photography and its most famous icon. 149 pages. 1st edition. This would make a fantastic gift, as this book has both author signatures on the front title page.
