Philippe Halsman
Despite the fact that Halsman suffered several setbacks in his personal life early stage, this did not stop him from becoming a magnificent portrait painter of his time. His photographs were somewhat harsh and dark and differed significantly from portraits of the time. Portraits were published in many magazines of the time, including Vogue. After meeting the surrealist artist Salvador Dali, he decides to make a surreal portrait of Dali, a skull and seven nude figures. It took three hours to complete the planned work. It was he who developed the philosophy of displaying a person in motion, in a jump. I believed that this was the only way to show a “real” person from the inside. At the peak of his career, he took portraits of celebrities such as Alfred Hitchcock, Marilyn Monroe, Winston Churchill, Judy Garland and Pablo Picasso.
