    New Picture – The Work of Bea Feitler
    Marte Eknæs and Nicolau Vergueiro
    13 September–4 November 2017

    New Picture is the first exhibition solely dedicated to late Brazilian designer and art director Bea Feitler (1938-1982). It features original magazines, books, reproductions and personal photos from her meteoric career, spanning from the late 1950s until her death in 1982. Best known for her work in  Harper’s Bazaar,  Ms.,  Rolling Stone and the modern Vanity Fair, she left an indelible mark upon the face of American graphic design by offering a new approach to the magazine experience.

    Feitler’s expressive freedom, evidenced by shifting standards to a female gaze, allowed her to renegotiate the commercial representation of women and to use the magazine as a mass vehicle to address social issues through her vibrant aesthetic. New Picture threads some of Feitler’s recurrent themes - the human silhouette, the centerfold as compositional device and collaging, through which she reimagined the relationship between body and graphic design in both layout and sensorial terms.
