Yevonde's portraits embody glorified tradition countered with a desire for the new; her most renowned body of work is a series of women dressed as goddesses posed in surreal tableaux from the 1930s. Yevonde championed photography during a time when there were few women photographers working professionally, and this book tells the story of her life, her works and her 60-year career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eYevonde: Life and Colour\u003c\/i\u003e brings the photographer's works together for the first time in 20 years. With an abundance of reproductions, and featuring previously unpublished works, the book showcases her experimentation with a range of techniques and genres including color photography, portraiture, still lifes, solarization and the Vivex color process, and repositions her as a key modern artist of the 20th century. It also provides in-depth context for Yevonde's images, considering their aesthetic and mythic references.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYevonde\u003c\/b\u003e (1893-1975), also known as Madame Yevonde, was a London-based photographer of portraits and still lifes whose motto was \"be original or die.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yevonde Philone Middleton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1855145634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781855145634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Portrait Gallery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.40h x 10.10w x 1.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2023 pg. 96","brand":"Yevonde Philone Middleton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44149279031551,"sku":"9781855145634","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9786a9d3-1381-4f06-b14c-cfafe699a11b.jpg?v=1688455807","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yevonde-yevonde-philone-middleton-9781855145634","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
