EDITORS COMMENTS
Madame Yevonde's captivating portrait of the Goddard sisters, captured in 1933, is a stunning example of the British photographer's unique artistic vision. The sisters, identified as Marjorie, Doris, and Muriel Goddard, are depicted in an ethereal and otherworldly setting, their faces framed against a backdrop of intricately textured fabric. The sisters' gazes are fixed directly on the viewer, their expressions both enchanting and slightly mysterious. Madame Yevonde, born Eva Gouges in 1893, was a pioneering figure in the world of portrait photography. Known for her innovative use of lighting and dramatic backdrops, she is perhaps best known for her "Fantasy Portraits," which often featured her subjects against intricately patterned fabrics and backdrops, creating a dreamlike and otherworldly effect. This particular portrait of the Goddard sisters is a prime example of Madame Yevonde's artistic style. The sisters' elegant dresses and delicate poses are in stark contrast to the bold and textured background, creating a sense of tension and intrigue. The sisters' faces, with their delicate features and expressive eyes, are the true focus of the portrait, inviting the viewer to explore the depths of their personalities. The portrait was taken in 1933, a time when photography was still a relatively new medium for capturing the essence of a person. Madame Yevonde's innovative approach to portrait photography paved the way for future generations of photographers and continues to inspire artists today. This portrait of the Goddard sisters is a testament to Madame Yevonde's artistic vision and her ability to capture the beauty and complexity of the human spirit.
