Whether in his sumptuous images for advertising or his soft-hued
nudes, Paul Outerbridge (1896-1958) was an alchemist of desire.
Color was integral to his aesthetic allure, embracing the complex
tri-color-carbro process to create a seductive surface of texture
and tone. His quest was for "artificial paradises"-a perfection of
form, with a surreal edge. This concise monograph introduces
Outerbridge's unique aesthetic and its commercial and artistic
trajectory, from his professional peak as New York's highest-paid
commercial photographer through to his retreat to Hollywood in the
1940s after a scandal over his erotic photography. With key
examples from his oeuvre, the book explores Outerbridge's
innovative style through Cubist still life images, magazine
photographs, and his controversial nudes, as well as his
interaction with other avant-garde photographers, such as Alfred
Stieglitz, Paul Strand, and Man Ray. Along the way, we recognize
Outerbridge's particular ability to transform everyday objects into
a quasi-abstract composition and his pioneering role in championing
the expressionistic, as much as commercial, potential of color
photographs.
