Art in the news

So, suprise suprise, my art in the news blog is about a fashion photographer. la di da.

At that moment Martin Munkácsi (pronounced moon-kashi) took the picture that would make both his career, and photographic history. Until then fashion was a staged affair, using mannequin-like models in a musty studio. Here, on Lucile's face, her chin stretched resolutely forward, was a genuine, breathless grin, matched in ebullience by the triumphant billowing of the cape behind her. 'This was never done before,' Snow wrote. 'This was the first big innovation I introduced to Harper's Bazaar .'

Yep.

Woot.
