<DIV><p>A revised edition of the award-winning publication accompanying the first major retrospective.</p><p>The work of <B>Lillian Bassman</B> (1917?2012) exudes a captivating elegance and a sure sense of style. As long-standing art director for <I>Harper's Bazaar</I>, she shaped the style of fashion photography of the 1940s to 1960s. By experimenting with various photographic exposures and darkroom techniques, she lent her black and white photographs a unique, almost painterly quality.</p><p>The urge to experiment also hallmarks the work of her husband <B>Paul Himmel</B> (1914?2009), who worked for <I>Vogue</I>, <I>Harper's Bazaar</I>, and many other magazines during the course of his career.</p><BR></DIV>
