Martin Munkácsi American, born Hungary

Munkacsi is best known in the United States for his spontaneous action-filled fashion photographs published in Harper's Bazaar in the 1930s. Bringing fashion out of the studio and injecting it with athleticism was an innovation at the time, but for this photographer it was also a return to the source of his art. His early stop-action sports pictures, like this one, were more concussive than his later work but had equal flair.
