hello friends of P! I'm leaving you a different post than the ones I usually share with you, and I really hope you'll enjoy it. The images are from the 20s decade, they're great and have very interesting data about the photographer who took them. If you like it, you know what to do, comment and recommend!
Alfred Cheney Johnston was born in New York on April 8, 1885, studied illustration and experimented with photography at a time when it was fashionable to paint portraits in oil.
Alfred applies the knowledge and principles he had absorbed from his painting classes to portrait photography. Johnston's photographs were indeed very painterly and throughout his life many would compare his photographic technique to that of fine arts painting.
Around 1916 Alfred Cheney Johnston's photography was brought to the attention of Florenz Ziegfeld, founder of the Ziegfeld Follies (a series of musical revues on Broadway, New York, inspired by the Folies Bergère in Paris). These shows included comic sketches and had a lot of critical and public success.
Ziegfeld promoted his shows as Glorifying the American Girl and was the work of Johnston to capture Ziegfeld's vision in the film. Ziegfeld's girl portraits by Johnston became world-famous.
Like his mentor Charles Dana Gibson created the 'Gibson Girl', Johnston came to create the 'Ziegfeld Girl', which became the new standard of beauty for a new generation of Americans.
