Steph's brief history of: Henry Wolf (1925-2005)

 Henry Wolf was born in Austria but made his fame in America. He became Art Director for Esquire in 1952 and the succeeded Alexey Brodovich (see post below) when he became the Art Director for Harper's Bazaar in 1958.

I really like the way Wolf has created both a facing and portrait image of his subject using a glass of water - something only a fantastic photographer would think of doing.

In 1965 he joined McCann Erickson producing advertising for Coca Cola, Alka Selzer and Gilette amongst others.

In 1971 he launched Henry Wolf Productions where he worked for 30 years producing over 500 tv commercials.

Wolf was certainly influenced by Brodovich, his work feels like an extension for that of Brodovich.
