Often considered the father of 20th century art direction, Alexey Brodovitch and his contributions to Harper's Bazaar for more than 20 years remain the reference point for generations of photographers and art directors. With an infallible eye, he promoted photographers such as Blumenfeld, Cartier-Bresson, Avedon, and Man Ray. This book is a unique homage to an exceptional talent. Gabriel Bauret regularly organizes photography exhibitions in Europe&151such as one on Alexey Brodovitch in Paris in 1998. He published Approaches of Photography (Nathan, 1992) and Color Photography (Assouline, 2001), and has written for Zoom magazine.
