Color was integral to his aesthetic allure, embracing the complex tri-color-carbro process to create a \u003cstrong\u003eseductive surface of texture and tone\u003c\/strong\u003e. His quest was for “artificial paradises”—a perfection of form, with a surreal edge.\n\u003cp\u003eThis concise monograph introduces Outerbridge’s unique aesthetic and its commercial and artistic trajectory, from his professional peak as \u003cstrong\u003eNew York’s highest-paid commercial photographer \u003c\/strong\u003ethrough to his retreat to Hollywood in the 1940s after a \u003cstrong\u003escandal over his erotic photography\u003c\/strong\u003e. With key examples from his oeuvre, the book explores Outerbridge’s innovative style through\u003cstrong\u003e Cubist still life images, magazine photographs, \u003c\/strong\u003eand his\u003cstrong\u003e controversial nudes\u003c\/strong\u003e, as well as his interaction with other avant-garde photographers, such as Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, and Man Ray. Along the way, we recognize Outerbridge’s particular ability to \u003cstrong\u003etransform everyday objects into a quasi-abstract composition\u003c\/strong\u003e and his pioneering role in championing the \u003cstrong\u003eexpressionistic, as much as commercial, potential of color photographs\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"read-more__biography\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"read-more__biography--biographies\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"read-more__biography--wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"read-more__biography--title\"\u003eThe authors\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"read-more__biography--item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"read-more__biography--text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarol McCusker \u003c\/strong\u003eis Curator of Photography at the University of Florida’s Samuel P.
