Sheila Metzner: Form and Fashion intermingles Metzner’s fashion work, her sensual and erotic nudes, and her formalist still lifes — a juxtaposition that conveys a romanticism balanced by precision. The transcendent quality of many of Metzner’s photographs is enhanced by a printing process invented by the Fresson family in 1895 in France, resulting in images that reveal an ethereal tonal range and color saturation. The end results are uniquely Metzner’s own, and have left a major impression on the history of photography.

1.0 out of 5 stars
dublicated key at Amazon,
By Ralf "Lichtfänger" (München) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sheila Metzner: Form and Fashion (Hardcover)
I did not receive the right book.
Though I ordered 'Sheila Metzner: Form and Fashion' I received 'Edward Curtis: The Master Prints' Also these reviews here refer to both books. Probably there is still a dublicated key at Amazon. So what could I say about Sheila Metzner ... I still would like to have this book, but Amazon's advice to ask the seller by mail whether the offer is for Sheila or Edward did not encourage me to try it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Esthetic, ethereal, modernist, and yet timeless,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sheila Metzner: Form and Fashion (Hardcover)
Sheila Metzner's photography is transcendent, rich, refined, esthetic, ethereal, modernist, and yet timeless. Her images are fascinating as they exhibit an astonishing tonal range. Enhanced with informative and illustratively descriptive commentaries by Ralph Lauren and M. Raven Metzner, Sheila Metzner: Form And Fashion is a core addition to any serious American history of photography reference collection, and a "must" for any serious student of photography-as-art.
