Product Description

Vanity Fair: The Portraits brings together 300 iconic portraits from Vanity Fair’s 95-year history in a remarkable book that captures the image of modern fame—the magical thing that happens when individual talent and beauty (and sometimes genius) is caught in the spotlight of popular curiosity and passion. The photographers—from Edward Steichen and Cecil Beaton to Annie Leibovitz and Mario Testino—are a glittering and celebrated group themselves. Their portraits have become the iconic likenesses of the best-known figures from the worlds of art, film, music, sports, business, and politics.

From legends such as Pablo Picasso, Amelia Earhart, Cary Grant, and Katharine Hepburn to the stars, writers, athletes, style icons, and titans of business and politics of today, Vanity Fair: The Portraits offers an authoritative roster of talent and glamour in the 20th century.

Beautiful! January 2, 2009
This is a really beautiful book. I bought it because I went to go see the Vanity Fair exhibit at LACMA. This is a great book for any photography lover or someone who has been a Vanity Fair fan, and it makes a really great gift. It chronicles Vanity Fair portraits of iconic artists, celebrities, and genius minds that have shaped the 20th century. I would greatly recommend it!

The Perfect Book for Those Who People Study November 17, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

Here's the deal. Vanity Fair has been on the scene for over a hundred years. Throughout it all, the publishers have had the good sense to chronicle history through those who caused it.

And a good deal of that was purveyed through photographic portraits, composed and done by the finest of the time.

This is the perfect Christmas gift for those who enjoy studying people.
