An unprecedented volume of photography from the Condé Nast
Archive, illustrating the history, art, and fashion of their famous
magazine brands Chronorama: Photographic Treasures of the 20th
Century is an impressive photography volume curated by Condé Nast.
Chrono—referring to space-time—and rama—referring to
sight—are the cornerstones of this notable art record that
depicts the third decade of the 21st century, a decade that had the
potential to be another Roaring Twenties, and during which, Condé
Nast Publications experienced meteoric growth. Taken from the pages
of Vogue, Vanity Fair, House & Garden, GQ, and Glamour, the
nearly 400 stunning original vintage prints and illustrations
within this tome are by top photographers such as Irving Penn,
Helmut Newton, Edward Steichen, Cecil Beaton, Eduardo Garcia
Benito, Horst P. Horst, George Hoyningen-Huene, and Arthur
Elgort—resulting in an unprecedented showcase of some of the most
important works ever to be produced for the magazine page.
Organized by decade, the book opens with the 1910s and ends with
the 1970s, and the backstories of each decade are told through the
art and historical context of the times, firmly situating the
prevalence of the works in the minds of the readers. An exclusive
collection of full-color, vivid, exquisite, and memorable images,
Chronorama is not only a landmark in the history of photography and
illustrated books, but also a pivotal time in the history of
fashion, design, and the arts.
