About the Item

'Talented, Idiosyncratic, stylish and worldly' is how William A. Ewing describes the sitters for the photographs in this book; exactly the same could be said of their photographer. Two hundred and twenty-five superbly reproduced colour and duotone illustrations display for the first time in book form the full range of Hoyningen-Huene's talent. They have been chosen by William A. Ewing . He shows how Hoyningen-Huene's style and techniques were shaped by his aristocratic upbringing, by his collaboration with MAn Ray, by his intimate contacts with the artistic milieu of 1920's Paris, and by the influences of the photographers Edward Steichen and Baron de Meyer. Little-known aspects of his life, such as his work in Hollywood as colour coordinator for George Cukor, are fully discussed. The text concludes with a survey of his importance for photographers as diverse and distinguished as Avedon, Penn and Horst. 248 pages. 1550 grams.

Modern Danish Furniture by Esbjorn Hiort (Book)
Located in North Yorkshire, GB
Modern Danish Furniture is the third volume of a series of books on modern Danish applied art. This volume, like the earlier ones, is edited by the Danish architect Esbjorn Hiort, M.A.A., who has written the introduction. While Danish silver and Danish ceramics have long been well known and in great demand in foreign countries - especially among collectors - it has only been during the past ten years or so that Danish furniture has gained an international reputation. In his introduction, the author describes the modern development in this field, explains the reasons for the high artistic and technical standard of Danish furniture, and points out the characteristic details of the work of the leading Danish furniture designers.
