Lillian Bassman's fashion photography at the Met. Bazaar images so painterly they barely look like photographs.

The Met celebrates Lillian Bassman, whose high-contrast, painterly fashion photographs for Harper's Bazaar in the 1940s and 50s redefined what the genre could be. Her work sits between photography and abstraction, technically innovative, deeply romantic, and startlingly modern.
