(Preface) ‘Such was the attitude with which legendary designer and photographer Alexey Brodovitch (1898-1971), the long-time art director of Harper's Bazaar, approached each new project and transformed the world of graphic design in the twentieth century. Though known foremost for his work on Harper's, Brodovitch's legacy extended far beyond the magazine's pages: as a teacher in Philadelphia and New York for some five decades, he inspired dozens of young photographers and art directors who would go on to become famous names themselves, including Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Robert Frank, and Lisette Model.
(This book narrates the life and work of Alexey Brodovitch, documenting with extensive research and rare archival images his contributions to photography, design, and the visual arts. Author Kerry Purcell draws from original interviews with Brodovitch's friends, colleagues, and fellow photographers to profile the man himself as well as his extraordinary career.’
