Enchanting Beauty

Arthur Cheney Johnston

4.9/5 (9984 ratings)

Description:This book contains 100 nude photos by Johnston.Johnston is famous as the photographer of the Ziegfeld Follies. His pictures launched the careers of Norma Shearer and many other Hollywood actresses. But in the 1930s his photographic style fell out of favor with the public as well as the artistic community. In the 1960s no museum would accept the gift of his photo-archive. As a result his work (except for a small collection given to the Smithsonian in the 1930s), was dispersed at public auction at the time of his death in 1971 and unknown works continue to turn up on the internet as dealers offer them for sale. But he created a fantastic world of beauty through his images that stands alongside Steiglitz, Steichen and Weston. Yet the commercial taint of his work still leaves him as the odd man out among the greatest American photographers (though Steiglitz and even Man Ray did fashion photography). Perhaps the real complaint against him is that his work is Romantic rather than Modern in tone.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
