AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This concerns an iconic Dutch fashion advertisement from the early 1960s. It is an advertising photo by photographer Paul Huf Jr. for the then-innovative fashion magazine Romance (the later well-known magazine Avenue).
Photographer: Paul Huf Paul Huf (1924 - 2002)
Dimensions: 34 × 24 cm
Original: the original photo was issued in 1964; this beautiful edition is from 1996.
Condition: Very good
Technique: C-print / digital print
Authentic: Yes, see stamp on the back by the Groninger Museum
Edition: This photo was issued by the Groninger Museum in 1996, around which Paul Huf (and Dick Bruna) organized a exhibition titled 'The Smell of Success'.
"The Smell of Success" was a special, grandly staged exhibition at the Groninger Museum in 1996 (from June 29 to September 1). The exhibition and the accompanying publications centered on the unique pairing of two Dutch icons: photographer Paul Huf and designer/illustrator Dick Bruna. The exhibition showcased the cross-pollination between Paul Huf’s commercial/modern photography and Dick Bruna’s minimalist graphic design (known from Miffy). Both had, in the preceding decades, left an enormous imprint on Dutch visual culture (as Huf did with his iconic record sleeves, Grolsch campaigns, Philips, KLM, Magriet, Avenue, King Peppermint and Playboy).
Historical & Artistic Context
- Photographer: Photographed by the legendary Dutch photographer Paul Huf Jr.
- Client: Created as an advertising and fashion photo for the innovative magazine Romance.
- People in the photo: The two men in the composition are the famous Dutch choreographer and dancer Hans van Manen and dancer Gérard le Maître. Their dynamic ballet and dance poses break with the traditional, static fashion pose of that era. The four posing women are the then-known models Margereth, Vicka, Evelyn and Rita.
Here are 20 important international and Dutch examples, influences and related artists of Paul Huf: Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Edward Steichen, Cecil Beaton, Horst P. Horst, George Hoyningen-Huene, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Man Ray, Willy Maywald, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Ad Windig, Maria Austria, Carel Willink, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, David Bailey, Bert Stern, Lord Snowdon (Antony Armstrong-Jones), Norman Parkinson
