About This Work
A nude model is photographed on a floral satin bench with her face covered for a spread entitled "Beauty Is All-Embracing" featured in Vogue Beauty Book's fifth issue in 1951. The image would mark the publication's first nude in color.
About the Artist
Sir Norman Parkinson (1913–1990) was a British portrait and fashion photographer whose four-decade career transformed the aesthetic of 20th-century magazine work. Shooting for Harper's Bazaar, Vogue and Town & Country, he took models out of the studio into landscapes, streets and factories — humanising fashion photography and paving the way for the modern editorial image.
