Erwin Blumenfeld: His Dutch Years 1918-1936

€45.00
Exhibition catalogue of The Hague Museum of Photography, containing contributions by Erwin’s son Henry Blumenfeld, Helen Adkins, Fleur Rosa de Carvalho and Wim van Sinderen, together with an inserted Dutch translation. In the 1940s, Erwin Blumenfeld became one of the world’s top fashion photographers. This first major exhibition to focus on Blumenfeld’s ‘Dutch years’ shows that all the ingredients for his later fame were already in evidence in the work he did in the Netherlands: a love of sexy, feminine models permeated by a slightly surreal and alienating sense of styling.
This exhibition catalogue from The Hague Museum of Photography explores the 'Dutch years' (1918-1936) of photographer Erwin Blumenfeld. It features contributions by Henry Blumenfeld, Helen Adkins, Fleur Rosa de Carvalho, and Wim van Sinderen, along with an inserted Dutch translation. The work highlights how Blumenfeld developed his signature style—characterized by a love for sexy, feminine models and a surreal sense of styling—during his time in the Netherlands before becoming one of the world's top fashion photographers in the 1940s.
