1925 Paris Exhibition: The Modern Shop Architecture and Shopping Between the Wars
The Modern Shop : Architecture and Shopping Between the Wars
In the 1920s and 1930s architects in Britain produced a number of striking shop designs.
Some were influenced by the 1925 Paris Exhibition which enchanted visitors with the luxurious French Modern design.
A film festival was held during the exhibition. Among the classics that were screened were The Passion of ]om of Arc (Carl Dreyer, 1929), L'Etoile de Mer (ManRay, 1928), Potemkin (Sergei Eisenstein, 1925), Variety (E. A. Dupont, 1925), and Man With a Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1928). These films were all made by directors and cameramen sympathetic to "The New Photography." And, conversely, the photographers learned from the filmmakers. Not before, and not since, have the two media so closely blended.
Steichen, now settled in Paris with a studio on the Left Bank, was dividing his time between painting and photography. His rise to international fame was swift; he had his first one-man exhibition in 1901 in Paris, mastered the gum-bichromate process, and excelled in multiple printing in several colors. He was at his best photographing leaders in the art world. |
