Within the pantheon of fashion photographers, the late Gösta Peterson stays largely unheralded — but that might be changing. The primary posthumous show of his imaginative, go-with-the-flow work debuts Thursday at Deborah Bell Photographs at 526 West twenty sixth Street in Manhattan. “Gösta Peterson Photographs Sixties-Nineteen Seventies” brings into focus the Swedish American talent’s progressive elan. Peterson, who died on the age of 94 in 2017, prized his independence and elements of surprise, whereas the photography of his contemporaries Irving Penn and Richard Avedon was generally more studied. Bell compared the freelance-focused Peterson to the late sports photographer-turned-fashion photographer Martin Munkacsi, who was quick to capture not only motion but a spirited moment with an incredible eye for composition. “His talent is...

Dreamy, sterile and lifeless, the 23-year-old’s work is defining the look of a recent lobotomy-chic generation Chloe Cherry is all dolled up in a dank, disgusting bedroom. She stands within the centre of the frame, staring dead-eyed into the camera, her expression blank and detached. She cradles a pet rabbit and the cool, harsh flash turns its eyes vivid red. Addison Rae, mouth open in a white Holy Trinity bikini, stands against a white wall. Face washed out by the flash, the image is light and sterile. The post-ironic message of the bikini twists her feminine beauty into blasphemy. The elusive, confusing, seductive world of post-ironic femininity has washed over Instagram feeds. With its...
