After being discovered by Edward Steichen and having her work exhibited at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1937, Dahl-Wolfe went on to revitalize the Hollywood portrait and invigorate the fashion photography of the 1930s, '40s and '50s. During her tenure at <i>Harper's Bazaar</i>--which lasted over two decades, and during which time she worked with Diana Vreeland--Dahl-Wolfe pioneered the use of natural lighting in fashion photography, shooting on location and outdoors. Her modernist outlook changed American visual culture, influencing a school of artists--namely Richard Avedon, Horst P. Horst and Irving Penn. Spanning over 30 years, this survey takes into account Dahl-Wolfe's work not just in fashion, but also in portraiture and nude photography. Today, she stands among some of the most prestigious photographers of her time, including Steichen, George Hoyningen-Huene, Erwin Blumenfeld and Martin Munkácsi, with a mastery of the genre that still resonates with fashion and portraiture lovers alike.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>One of the most influential fashion photographers of the twentieth century, Louise Dahl-Wolfe revitalized the Hollywood portrait and invigorated the fashion photography of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s.
