Fashion Photography @ ICP

Edward Steichen: In High Fashion, The Condé Nast Years, 1923–1937

Weird Beauty: Fashion Photography Now

This Is Not a Fashion Photograph: Selections from the ICP Collection

Three separate exhibits that survey the development of fashion photography. Steichen’s modernist elegance contrasts the experimental and confrontational approaches by today’s artists. Balancing the two extremes is a selection of photos that have influenced contemporary work. A three bears approach to curating, with something to please everybody.

Pierre Bonnard: The Late Interiors @ Met

Color defines Bonnard’s world. His use of drawing is minimal, mainly emphasizing the outlines of simple shapes – an armchair, a figure, or architecture. Subjects are defined as shapes of dappled hues, frozen in the shifting play of light. The paintings are dynamic, animated by brushstrokes and the depiction of patterns in fabric, wallpaper, and reflected light which emphasize the flatness of the picture plane. Or, in the words of another visitor, he got the perspective all wrong.
