Description

Chronorama: Treasures from the Cond Nast Archives 1910-1980 is an impressive photography volume curated by Cond Nast. Chrono-referring to space-time-and rama-referring to sight-are the cornerstones of this notable art record that depicts the third decade of the 21st century, a decade that had the potential to be another Roaring Twenties, and during which, Cond Nast Publications experienced meteoric growth. Taken from the pages of Vogue, Vanity Fair, House & Garden, GQ, and Glamour, the nearly 400 stunning original vintage prints and illustrations within this tome are by top photographers such as Irving Penn, Helmut Newton, Edward Steichen, Cecil Beaton, Eduardo Garcia Benito, Horst P. Horst, George Hoyningen-Huene, and Arthur Elgort-resulting in an unprecedented showcase of some of the most important works ever to be produced for the magazine page.
