A day at the museum

Happy Monday! This weekend I visisted the exhibition of Edward Steichen at the FOAM museum in Amsterdam. His photographs of models, actresses and public figures are breathtaking and powerful and could have been shot yesterday.

  

Edward Jean Steichen (March 27, 1879 – March 25, 1973) was an American photographer, painter, and art gallery and museum curator. His photos of gowns for the magazine Art et Décoration in 1911 are regarded as the first modern fashion photographs ever published. From 1923 to 1938, Steichen was a photographer for the Condé Nast magazines Vogue and Vanity Fair.  Source wikipedia
