Norman Parkinson 1913 – 1990

Norman Parkinson, one of the twentieth centuries best known British fashion photographers, was active for over 50 years.  He was instrumental in taking portrait and fashion photography beyond the stiff formality of his predecessors and injecting an easy and casual elegance into his images.  His photographs of celebrities, artists, actors and the British Royal Family are known throughout the world and have become icons of twentieth century style.
