Alexey Brodovitch

by Alexey Brodovitch, Gabriel Bauret

Often described as the father of twentieth-century art direction, Alexey Brodovitch and his contributions to Harper's Bazaar remain the reference point for several generations of photographers and art directors. Brodovitch was one of the first to incorporate the space available into the overall design--for example, in his pioneering use of the double-page spread. With an infallible eye, he promoted photographers such as Blumenfeld, Cartier-Bresson, Avedon, and Man Ray.

I am very much impressed with Alexey Brodovitch's great design work that took place in magazines in the 40's and 50's. The double page layout, the fonts, and so much more. I think about his work a lot when thinking about my press TamTam Books. Such an amazing talent and a great eye for detail and design.
