A photo book by Lisette Model, a photographer born in Austria and active in the United States. After giving up her music career and studying painting and photography in Paris, she moved to New York in the 1940s, projecting social contradictions and unknown worlds through portraits of homeless people and obese people that everyone turned a blind eye to. In the 1940s, she was discovered by Carmel Snow and Alexei Brodovich, and worked for Harper's Bazaar. Since the 1950s, she has been involved in photography education. Her main students include Diane Arbus and Bruce Weber, but it is well known that Arbus in particular looked up to models as her lifelong mentors and frequently consulted them on everything from work to private matters. Together with fellow female photographer and lifelong friend Berenice Abbott, Model worked to form the foundation of photographic art in America. This book was published in conjunction with an exhibition held in Paris and Madrid in 2010. This is a valuable book that provides a detailed introduction to all the models, from works taken in Paris and Nice in the 1930s at the beginning of his career to street photographs in the 1940s, when he was at the peak of his career as a photographer.
