Alexey Brodovitch *genius

Alexey Brodovitch (Алексей Бродович; 1898 –April 15, 1971) was a Russian-born photographer, designer and instructor who is most famous for his art direction of fashion magazine Harper’s Bazaar from 1938 to 1958. I truly admire his work, I love the imagination that goes into each one of his layouts and photographs. His play of form is so delicate and the way that he translates and mirrors the form and shape between the text and the image is absolutely beautiful.
