Edward Steichen: In High Fashion: The Condé Nast Years 1923-1937
William A. Ewing and Todd Brandow
Edward Steichen was chief photographer for Vogue and Vanity Fair from 1923 to 1937. During that time, he produced work of unequalled brilliance, putting his exceptional talents to work dramatizing and glamorizing contemporary culture and its achievers – in politics, literature, journalism, dance, theatre, opera and, above all, the world of high fashion. This beautifully produced book reproduces the best of Steichen’s images, all drawn from Condé Nast’s archive of more than 2,000 original vintage prints. Until now, no more than a handful of these prints has been exhibited or published. The 1920s and 1930s represent the high point in Steichen’s photographic career, and the work he did for Condé Nast’s influential magazines will stand forever among the most striking creations of 20th-century photography.
