Genevieve Naylor was a fashion photographer, photojournalist, and the personal photographer of Eleanor Roosevelt. She was the second female photographer to be given a one-woman exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1943. Naylor (whose husband was painter Misha Reznikoff), framed model Jean Patchett’s face carefully against industrial designer Raymond Loewy’s art collection, which includes Joan Miró’s 1942 gouache Figure devant le soleil (Figure in Front of the Sun) just behind Patchett’s left shoulder. Raymond Loewy was a celebrated French-American industrial designer who achieved fame for designing the logos for Shell, Exxon, TWA, and BP, the bottle design for Coca-Cola, the packaging for Lucky Strike cigarettes, the Studebaker Avanti and Champion vehicles, and for his contributions to the interiors of NASA spacecraft, among others. This photograph and others are included in our current exhibition “Art + Fashion”, which you can visit and see at the gallery until September 10, 2022. We look forward to seeing you here!
