A GOODBYE TO SPRING FASHIONS... HERE COMES THE SUMMER.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the "VOGUE" magazine cover of March 15, 1945, featuring a blurred model behind a frosted glass panel emblazoned with a red cross, photographed by Erwin Blumenfeld and art-directed by Alexander Liberman. 📸: Erwin Blumenfeld, via Condé Nast.

Resolution at 1200x1607 & 740x936.

"It is “scary and sad to think that no mainstream fashion title would now publish a cover this bold,” our critic says."

Lessons include breath control, underwater ballet, synchronized swimming, graceful movement, and underwater dining etiquette. Audiences watch the mermaids perform from an underground theater embedded in the side of the spring.

"...BLUMENFELD REINTERPRETS THESE HUMANITARIAN SIGNS JUST AS HE BLURS THOSE OF FASHION."

PIC(S) INFO: Erwin Blumenfeld (American-German, 1897-1969). Spotlight on a photo art piece titled "Do your part for the Red Cross" ["Soutenez la Croix-Rouge"], c. 1945. Variant of a cover photograph of Vogue, “Do your part for the Red Cross”, New York, March 15th, 1945. Collection Henry Blumenfeld. © The Estate of Erwin Blumenfeld.

PICS #2 & 3: The chosen image to be published for the cover of "VOGUE," and the cover page itself (March 1945).

OVERVIEW: "A model, a red cross: fashion and current affairs superimposed. The background to this humanitarian appeal is the liberation of the concentration camps and the aid brought to prisoners of war. Blumenfeld reinterprets these humanitarian signs just as he blurs those of fashion."
