Martin Munkacsi

Martin Munkacsi (1896-1963) was the star photographer of his time. He photographed scores of famous actors, freed fashion photography from the confines of the studio, and set the static medium of photography in motion. Munkacsi's images have been brought together to combine pictures from all his artistic phases, and several photographs and bodies of work that have not been seen since their initial magazine publication. Munkacsi's work reveals a tense, technology-obsessed, glamorous and contradictory epoch.
