Elegance drawn in shadow. Lillian Bassman transforms fabric, silhouette, and light into pure graphic seduction. ••• #repost @metmuseum Even after she stopped designing magazine layouts, Lillian Bassman never stopped thinking like an art director. For a fashion shoot in 1959, she created a graphic environment within the space of her studio. In the resulting photograph, a scrim of sheer fabric envelops the model in bold stripes—a striking composition fit for print. The setup approximates some of Bassman’s signature darkroom techniques, diffusing the light and softening the scene. 📣 One more month! See “Lillian Bassman: Bazaar and Beyond” on view at The Met through July 26. _____ Lillian Bassman (American, 1917-2012), “Summer Supplements: Daytime Editions,” 1959.
