Luxardo’s photographic work in the mid 1930s and 1940s was indicative of the major trends of early twentieth century photography, as evident in his nudes, which can be compared with those of Weston, Hoyningen-Huene and Man Ray. His portraits display the influence of the fashion photographers of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and of the Hollywood cinema of George Hurrel.
