The Goddesses: Portraits by Madame Yevonde
of Lawrence Hole (Text), Madame Yevonde (Photographs)
Description
Madame Yevonde was an esteemed portrait photographer who, in the mid 1930s, made portraits of society women in the guise of various ancient heroines--principally goddesses. She was a pioneer in color photography, utilizing the Vivex tri-color process which gave a memorable artificiality to the photographs. All 22 portraits are reproduced in our book through the cooperation of The Yevonde Portrait Archives. Lawrence Hole, of the Archive, contributes a preface which sheds new light on the portraits. Welleran Poltarnees, in his foreward, speculates on the power of this remarkable series.
