Louise Dahl-Wolfe

"Under Carmel (Snow)'s sponsorship, the great new young writers of the era, like Carson McCullers and Eudora Welty, were published, and I had the opportunity to do their portraits. Carmel had the most darling sense of humor. I sparred with her but she was imaginative and protective. She was responsible for making the Bazaar in those days much more interesting, and less conservative, than Vogue. People say I was demanding, and I guess I did drive my models hard. I was teased by my models for saying, 'Hold it! Hold it!" all the time. I suppose I stormed a lot, but in the end, we'd all have a drink together." –Louise Dahl-Wolfe, 1984.
Dahl-Wolfe's cover for the November, 1949 issue of Harper's Bazaar is reproduced from the exciting new monograph from Aperture.
