Schiaparelli, 1938

Erwin Blumenfeld (1897 – 1969) was a famous American photographer of German origin. He began taking photographs when he was eleven, before his professional debut in a 1936 exhibition in Paris. He later published collages mocking Adolf Hitler, and was interned in a concentration camp during German occupation. In 1941 Blumenfeld emigrated to the USA where his post-war career flourished, with photographs appearing in Harpers Bazaar and Vogue, and a reputation as the highest paid freelance photographer in New York.

Christophe Dugied

“I love painting especially the work of William Hammershoi and Edward Hopper. I like the silence they bring into their canvas, I like the space they leave for contemplation and the fact that the harmony that exudes from their work is always in conjunction with a sense of enigma" Christophe Dugied

Norwegian photographer John Olav Riise

John Olav Riise (1885-1978) was one of the Norwegian artists whose work had the strongest impact on the international arena, especially in France. He participated in the annual Salon in Paris from 1924 to 1932, and his work was highly regarded there. However, despite the many exhibitions he held, also in his homeland, he received very little media attention in Norway during his lifetime.The art historian Eva Klerck Gange gives the following overview of the artist’s work, and the position he held: Henie Onstad kunstsenter

Lillian Bassman was at the cutting-edge of fashion working both as a fashion photographer and the art director for the iconic magazine Harper's Bazaar. Throughout her illustrious career, she worked with leading photographers and worked as a photographer herself on campaigns for Balenciaga and Chanel. Paul Himmel was one of the few photographers who worked for Harpers and Vogue before focussing on his fine art photography. He is best known for his series of dancers and boxers. Together, the couple's work presents an engagig exploration into photography both as a commercial and artistic practice.

Lillian Bassman and Paul Himmel count among the masters of photography. The House of Photography of Deichtorhallen Hamburg prepares the first comprehensive retrospective of the artist couple. Besides the well-known photographs, published in “Vogue” and “Harper’s Bazaar”, yet unpublished photographs of the two artists will be exposed. Today Lillian Bassman belongs to the last great woman photographers in the fashion world. In the 1940s and 1960s she worked as an art director for “Junior Bazaar” and later for “Harper’s Bazaar”, and promoted photographers, such as Richard Avedon, Robert Frank, Louis Faurer and Arnold Newman. Paul Himmel (born 1914 as son of Ukrainian pilgrims; died in Feb. 2009 in New York) was one of the last great living photographers from the early era of American photography. He gained fame through his early exhibition “The Familiy of Man”, curated by Edward Steichen, which then turned around the world. In the mid-thirties, Lillian Bassman and Paul Himmel got married. Contrary to his wife, Paul Himmel increasingly lost interest in fashion photography. He began to develop his own projects, most of them radical experiments.
