Martin Munkácsi's began his photography career in 1921 as a sport reporter for the Hungarian newspaper Az Est. After the World War I, he immigrated to the United States in 1933 where he met the editor of Harper's Bazaar; she quickly recognized his talent. At the time, fashion was photographed in studios, and when Munkácsi shot the model in action, running toward him, he broke the mold entirely and set a trend which is still with us. His widely imitated spontaneity and action brought magazine fashions to life and earned him the description "the kinetic man." The exhibition is realized in collaboration with Howard Greenberg Gallery and the Munkacsi Estate.
