VINTAGE WOMEN BY CINDY MARLER
|
Vintage Women is a series of black and white photographs of women that were the first international top models in Holland in the 60's. They worked for Vogue and Harpers Bazaar, and were photographed by world-renowned photographers such as Helmut Newton, David Hamiliton and Norman Parkinson. Photographs tell abstract stories. They tell fragments, allowing the mind to go places. The western eye sees modern beauty as all-powerful. Domination by the beautiful person is central. The cool, untouchable impersonality of the perfect beauty has inspired writers, poets and assassins. Oscar Wilde believed that the beautiful person had the right to commit any act. (excerpt by Camille Paglia from her book Sexual Personae). |
