It is amazing how Norman Parkinson was able to mix humour and glamour in his pictures. In the 40‘s, he revolutionised British fashion photography, making it more dynamic.
He used to say that he was a craftsman and not an artist and remained until his death (1990) one of the foremost British portrait and fashion photographers.
2013 marks the centenary of Norman Parkinson’s birth and the National Theatre is celebrating it with the exhibition Lifework: Norman Parkinson's Century of Style.
