A riveting dual biography of the McLaughlins--identical twin
sisters who became groundbreaking photographers in New York during
the glamorous magazine golden age of the 1930s and 40s--for fans of
Hollywood's Eve and The Barbizon. The McLaughlin twins were
trailblazing female photographers, celebrated in their time as
stars in their respective fields, but have largely been forgotten
since. Here, in Double Click, author Carol Kino provides us with a
fascinating window into the golden era of magazine photography and
the first young women's publications, bringing these two brilliant
women and their remarkable accomplishments to vivid life. Frances
was the only female photographer on staff in Condé Nast's photo
studio, hired just after Irving Penn, and became known for
streetwise, cinema verité-style work, which appeared in the pages
of Glamour and Vogue. Her sister Kathryn's surrealistic portraits
filled the era's new "career girl" magazines, including Charm and
Mademoiselle. Both twins married Harper's Bazaar photographers and
socialized with a glittering crowd that included the supermodel
Lisa Fonssagrives and the photographer Richard Avedon. Kino uses
their careers to illuminate the lives of young women during this
time, an early twentieth-century moment marked by proto-feminist
thinking, excitement about photography's burgeoning creative
potential, and the ferment of wartime New York. Toward the end of
the 1940s, and moving into the early 1950s, conventionality took
over, women were pushed back into the home, and the window of
opportunity began to close. Kino renders this fleeting moment of
possibility in gleaming multi-color, so that the reader cherishes
its abundance, mourns its passing, and gains new appreciation for
the talent that was fostered at its peak. Pulling back the curtain
on an electric, creative time in New York's history, Double Click
is biography at its finest.
