- 2 Want to read
"Enchanted as an adolescent by the nudes of Memling, Botticelli and Cranach, Blumenfeld dreamed of using photography to equal or surpass the Great Masters. In the 1930s, on the second floor of his leather goods shop in Amsterdam, he persuaded one of his female customers to pose for him. His work as a photographer of nudes had begun."--BOOK JACKET.
"Blumenfeld gained worldwide fame as a fashion photographer, but he always considered his nude photographs to be his best and most important work."--BOOK JACKET. "The 120 duotone and colour photographs shown here represent the peak of Blumenfeld's achievement. They have been selected by his son Yorick, who also contributes an informative and revealing text."--BOOK JACKET.
