Description
Alexey Brodovitch Astonish Me is a lavishly illustrated volume that explores the life and work of the influential Russian-born photographer, designer, and instructor Alexey Brodovitch. His art directorship of Harper's Bazaar between 1934 and 1958 had a profound impact on twentieth-century American photography and graphic design.
The book delves into Brodovitch's influence on photography as an artistic medium in the mid-twentieth century, tracing how European art and design became the foundation of a new American print culture. Through personal projects, collaborations with celebrated photographers, and an illustrated chronology, this volume sheds light on Brodovitch's transformative work.
Discover the pivotal encounters that shaped Brodovitch's career and explore his own work through his magazine Portfolio and photographic project Ballet. This book offers a fresh perspective on an influential but often overlooked figure in the history of photography.
