LILLIAN BASSMAN, Barbara Mullen, Harper's Bazaar, 18323, 14.375x11.125" Gelatin silver print, Printed 1992, Signed, titled, dated, and numbered 14/25 with print date and other annotations in pencil on print verso.

A stylized masterpiece by the greatest female fashion photographer of the 20th Century Lillian Bassman.

Lillian Bassman (1917 - 2012) was born in Brooklyn, New York. She worked as a textile designer and fashion illustrator before working at Harper's Bazaar in 1946. In 1949, she photographed her first Paris couture collection, which lead to her distinguished career photographing the foremost models of her day. Renowned for her innovative work in the darkroom, Bassman experimented by printing through unique materials, burning certain areas, or bleaching sections of the photograph to create images that appeared to be a cross between a watercolor and a photograph. Her photography has been featured internationally in gallery and museum exhibitions in New York, Milan, Paris, and London and is the focus of magazine articles, lectures, and books.
