Product Description

By the mid-1950s, Erwin Blumenfeld's fame had spread throughout the USA and Europe to make him the world's most highly paid photographer. This study discusses the life and work of this extraordinary man. Highly inventive, he developed his own idiosyncratic language, using solarization and negative printing, double and multiple exposures and a host of hybrid techniques. The work also brings together a retrospective selection of Blumenfeld's diverse achievements including drawings, collages and photographs of all genres.

A truly modern photographer . 1 Oct 1998

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

A truly modern photographer, Erwin Blumenfeld incorporates the artistic past of more than 20 centuries. That is the reason he will remain modern for many centuries to come. In his photos you will touch reminescences from Praxiteles to Picasso via Cranach, El Greco, Renoir and many other great artists brought alive in a new medium and a New World.
