Recenzii

Anyone interested in the postwar New York advertising circles portrayed in Mad Men will find delight in William Helburn s upcoming book Seventh and Madison. The photographer, whose images appeared in the pages of magazines like Harper s Bazaar and Life, had an obvious sense of humor and adventure. "
Celebrates [Helburn s] out of the box approach advertising approach. "
Part of what makes Seventh and Mad which charts the seismic shift from the demure Eisenhower era to the increasingly freewheeling 60s such fun is discovering what s still in (Coca-Cola, animal prints, eyeliner, lots of eyeliner) and out (smoking, plush thighs). Some of the best pictures, however, aren t ads or fashion shots but celebrity portraits, like Helburn s black-and-white study of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward in nourish Times Square for a 1960 issue of Town & Country. "
This collection is peerless. "
He shot Tippi Hedren lying on an ironing board on Seventh Avenue, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward on stools as traffic whizzed by in the middle of Broadway... "
Mad-Men era fashion and advertising photographs. "
[Helburn] was an accomplished contemporary of the masters Avedon and Penn, specializing in his own sophisticated take on New York fashion. His particular gift was in presenting his models within a larger urban landscape...His fashion work was playful and vivid. Some of the advertising photography is dated, but the best pictures here recall a time when even the most elegant fashion was somehow earthbound, before the overuse of Photoshop began digitally carving models into alien beings. A series of picture with actress Sharon Tate for Esquire in 1967 and 1968 capture a stylish revolution in primary colors before the era went dark. "
A treasure for those who consider themselves fashion-obsessed....Helburn was to photography and fashion what Steve McQueen was to acting and Hollywood. "
Helburn is now getting the recognition he deserves. . . . A very compelling book. "
With his penchant for shock value, Helburn became a leading photographer for many of New York s top ad agencies in the 1950s and 60s. . . . Robert Lilly and Lois Allen Lilly s Seventh and Madison offers an in-depth look at the photographer s life and work. "
Helburn s photographic gift was to juxtapose high sophistication with a stylized urban setting. One look at Dovima under the El and now you know who took the picture. But he didn t ossify: in the late 1960s and early '70s his work became more natural, direct, and overtly sexual. He moved with the times. "
Not only a testament to the man and his talent but helps preserve an important part of fashion and advertising photography. The clothes, the models, the settings recall a time of creativity and fun. "

Descriere

William Helburn was the go-to photographer for many of the top advertising agencies in New York in the 1950s and 1960s. Shock value and an unrelenting hunger for success helped Helburn to a pioneer s share in the revolutionary era of advertising and his work would also appear on the editorial pages and covers of major magazines. As well as cars and cosmetics, Helburn shot Coca-Cola, Canada Dry, whiskeys, clothing lines, airlines, jewelry, cigars and cigarettes, and any number of other products. He worked with the top models of the day, from Dovima and Dorian Leigh to Jean Patchett and Barbara Mullen to Jean Shrimpton and Lauren Hutton. William Helburn: Seventh and Madison is the first book to survey the photographic work of William Helburn and gives viewers a delicious taste of the vivid reality that the television series Mad Men seeks to evoke. Most of these images have not been seen since they were first published decades ago. In addition to the photographs, Robert Lilly contributes a biographical account of Helburn s life and work, and former colleagues Jerry Schatzberg, George Lois, Sunny Griffin, and Ali McGraw offer insights into the lusty, creative spirit of William Helburn."
