"Style in Motion: Munkacsi Photographs of the '20s, '30s and '40s" is a photobook by Hungarian photographer Martin Munkacsi. Having established a solid position as a sports and photojournalist in Hungary and Germany, Munkacsi moved to New York in his mid-30s, after the 1930s. There, he was hired by Harper's Bazaar editor Carmel Snow and art director Alexei Brodovitch, and signed an exclusive contract with the magazine. Overturning the conventions of fashion photography at the time, which was mainly studio production, Munkacsi undertook outdoor shoots, capturing natural and dynamic posing of models with bold angles and meticulously calculated compositions, pioneering new frontiers in fashion photography. Munkacsi's exceptional sensibility for capturing moments and his innovative style are famous for having a great influence on masters such as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Richard Avedon. This book compiles works from the 1920s to the 1940s, and includes forewords and tributes by Avedon and Bresson. It is co-authored by Nancy White and John Esten, who were chief editor and art director of Harper's Bazaar.
