Norman Parkinson: A Very British Glamour

by admin

Somerset House

Until 31 January 2010
Terrace Rooms, free admission

An exhibition to celebrate the publication of Norman Parkinson: A Very British Glamour  

One of the great pioneers of fashion photography, and a decisive influence on subsequent generations of fashion photographers, Norman Parkinson is famous for redefining glamour in fashion as something far more spontaneous and modern than it had ever been before him.

Another excuse to visit London and buy another coffee table book, a portrait of his long career from the 1930s through the 1980s, Louise Baring’s Norman Parkinson: A Very British Glamour is being published by Rizzoli in October 2009. Link
