... a superbly designed book of recently rediscovered
black-and-white pictures made between 1949 and 1955, is the first

The uncompromising fashion photography of latter-day interiors like
Juergen Teller and Terry Richardson owes a debt to this approach -

hasn't aged. If anything, it's better than much of what followed
it.--Matthew Schneier "The New York Times, Styles Section"
