The Glory of George Hoyningen-Huene


Summer cannot come soon enough.  In the mean-time, I shall bask in the glory of George Hoyningen-Huene's amazing photographs, which sort of inspired my photo from yesterday, but which also clearly connect to the look of Jantzen's diving girl logo (not sure which came first?).  The striped booties the lady in the last image is wearing make me weak in the knees.  All in all, these capture bronzed deco brilliance. Side note: I only discovered this photographer recently (too much English studies, not enough visual arts in uni.), but I think I have had a Hoyningen-Huene print hanging in my bathroom for the past six months without knowing it (one of those Ikea jobbies that doesn't give photographer's name, but the style and subject seems EXACTLY like these.  Hmmmm.....)
