Mystery and manners, romance and fun-the sophisticated compositions and stylish characters in the extraordinary pictures of fashion photographer Rodney Smith (1947–2016) exist in a timeless world of his imagination. Handsomely designed, 1964: Eyes of the Storm creates an intensely dramatic record of The Beatles’ first transatlantic trip, documenting the radical shift in youth culture that crystallized in 1964.
“Beatleland,” an essay by Harvard historian and New Yorker essayist Jill Lepore, describing how The Beatles became the first truly global mass culture phenomenon. Candid recollections preceding each city portfolio that form an autobiographical account of the period McCartney remembers as the “Eyes of the Storm,” plus a coda with subsequent events in 1964. A personal foreword in which McCartney recalls the pandemonium of British concert halls, followed by the hysteria that greeted the band on its first American visit. Featuring 275 images from the six cities―Liverpool, London, Paris, New York, Washington, D.C., and Miami―of these legendary months, 1964: Eyes of the Storm also includes: Taken with a 35mm camera by Paul McCartney, these largely unseen photographs capture the explosive period, from the end of 1963 through early 1964, in which The Beatles became an international sensation and changed the course of music history.

Thus were born these “images of women”, which reflect not only an ideal of beauty but also what these women of their time are – Naomi and Nadja, for example, Amber, Kate, Madonna, Tina Turner, Demi Moore, Milla Jovovich… More than perfection and glamor, Lindbergh sought out the radiance and individuality of his models, and this in a way more associated with portrait photography than with the world of fashion. But by his own style which then shaped a whole generation of photographers, he left a real mark. 
It was the time top-models, a phenomenon which he himself is also behind. With around 190 black and white photos in brilliant print of the most beautiful and famous women in the world, Lindbergh (1944-2019) then offered a first retrospective of his photographic work from the 1980s and 1990s. Peter Lindbergh‘s collection of Images of Women, published by Schirmer / Mosel for the first time in 1997 and reprinted several times since, today pays tribute to the great fashion photographer who recently died.
