A captivating photographic odyssey spanning fashion, Hollywood and
travel, this is the first publication in almost 40 years on the
work of George Hoyningen-Huene, the photographer whose images
defined an era. Baron George Hoyningen-Huene (1900–1968), known
simply as Huene, worked during the golden age of couture fashion
and Hollywood cinema. He was born in St Petersburg to a wealthy
family, but they had to flee their home during the Russian
revolution in 1917. Huene spent time in England before moving to
Paris, where he was employed to create photographs for Vogue and
Vanity Fair and rapidly established himself as a visual innovator,
fusing elements of neoclassicism and surrealism to create chic,
arresting images. In 1935, Huene joined Harper’s Bazaar magazine,
where he remained a contributor until 1946, following which he
settled in California and embarked on a second career as a colour
coordinator for Hollywood films. Supported by an international
exhibition opening at Chanel Nexus Hall in Tokyo, this book
combines elegant design and production values with rigorous new
research and scholarship. Organized into eight chapters, each
supported by texts by contributing writers from the worlds of
fashion, cinema and photography, and featuring names and faces that
have defined our view of style, glamour and grace in the 20th
century, it reminds us of Huene’s position among the greats of
photography.
