    Lusha Nelson, Babs Lee, Vogue Beauty Editor, 1937, Vintage gelatin silver print, 10" x 8". Artist's credit stamped on verso. Conde Nast stamps on verso with model and date in pencil. Numbered in pencil on verso. Artist Biography: Lusha Nelson’s art career was brief, but prolific. In the 1930s as a staff photographer for Condé Nast publications including Vogue and Vanity Fair, he captured icons like Katharine Hepburn and Jesse Owens with a direct elegance, always avoiding retouching or manipulation of his portraits. He mingled with Alfred Stieglitz and was mentored by Edward Steichen; he was included in the Museum of Modern Art’s 1937 photography survey; he surveyed the streets of Depression-era New York with a documentarian eye; and he even once ran away with the circus, following Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey from Manhattan to Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
