Item Details
Description
Lusha Nelson, the protégé of Edward Steichen, was one the hottest photographers of the 1930s, lensing everyone from Katharine Hepburn to Jesse Owens. But only six years into his career, he died. In the 1930s, he shot portraits for Vanity Fair, fashion spreads for Vogue, as well as still lifes, street scenes, and glossy ads. Edward Steichen, then the chief photographer of Condé Nast Publications, took Nelson under his wing, and the young artist was soon shooting striking portraits of Hollywood stars. In 1938—just 6 years into a promising career—Nelson, aged 30, died from Hodgkin’s lymphoma, consigning his legacy to a photographic footnote.
