An essential chapter in the history of 20th-century photography, of interest to both aficionados and scholars. Still fresh and original, this body of work remains highly influential. German-born photographer Erwin Blumenfeld began his career in the Dadaist circles of Berlin and Paris in the 1930s.

One of the greatest fashion photographers of all time, Erwin Blumenfeld is also recognized as one of the most talented and profoundly erotic portrayers of the nude. He aimed to persuade his audience of the magical beauty of the female form, and to show the world that the nudes of the great master painters--from Botticelli to Ingres--could be challenged by the magical potential of the darkroom. Blumenfeld was an inspired innovator who experimented with solarizations, reticulations, negative-positive combinations, and chemical manipulations to enhance the mystery of his images. 'The Naked and the Veiled' features, in both color and duotone, many photographs never before published, as well as B...
