Erwin Blumenfeld Photofile

Erwin Blumenfeld Photofile

An experimenter and innovator, Erwin Blumenfeld (1897–1969) produced an extensive body of work including portraits and nudes, celebrity portraiture, and advertising campaigns—but it is his fashion photography for which he is best known. Having fled Paris during World War II, Blumenfeld forged a stellar path in New York, where he worked for Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Helena Rubinstein, L’Oréal, and Elizabeth Arden among others.
