C’est en photographiant la famille Ford que Philippe Halsman a eu cette idée un peu folle : faire sauter Mme Ford devant l’objectif. Ainsi naît le concept de « jumpology ». Cet album présente des portraits hauts en couleurs (bien qu’en N&B), originaux, dynamiques, drôles et vrais. De Riga en Lettonie à New York, en passant par Paris, Philippe Halsman est devenu le plus grand portraitiste de son époque : Chagall, Le Corbusier, Gide, Malraux et d’autres artistes et intellectuels tombent tous sous la coupe de son appareil. Dès 1940, Halsman fuit l’Occupation et émigre aux États-Unis où il se reforgera une notoriété aux côtés de Picasso, Marilyn Monroe, Ingrid Bergman, Winston Churchill, Audrey Hepburn, Salvador Dalí ou encore Alfred Hitchcock. La photographie d’Halsman se caractérise par son approche directe et psychologique, ainsi que par une recherche formelle dans le détail, affectionnant les expérimentations techniques et esthétiques. Il réalise 101 couvertures du magazine Life et publie, en 1959, son manifeste de la « jumpology » : Jump Book.
Le quasi 200 fotografie realizzate da Halsman a metà degli anni 50 che ritraggono stelle del cinema, regnanti, politici, attori, artisti e studiosi a mezz’aria sono ormai entrate a far parte nell’immaginario collettivo della cifra stilistica di Halsman. In quel periodo l’artista concludeva le sessioni fotografiche chiedendo ai suoi soggetti di saltare e così iniziò a prendere forma questa straordinaria ed energetica raccolta che tra gli altri annovera Marilyn Monroe, Edward Steichen, Audrey Hepburn, Robert Oppenheimer, John Steinbeck, Weegee, Aldous Huxley, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dalì, Brigitte Bardot, Groucho Marx, Richard Nixon e il Duca e la Duchessa di Windsor. "Quando si chiede una persona di saltare", ha scritto Halsman, "la sua attenzione è principalmente rivolta verso l'atto di saltare, e la maschera cade, facendo apparire così la persona reale."

Steichen era già pittore e fotografo affermato sulle due sponde dell’Atlantico quando, nei primi mesi del 1923, gli offrirono l’incarico più prestigioso e certamente più redditizio nel campo della fotografia commerciale, quello di fotografo capo per “Vogue” e “Vanity Fair”, le autorevoli e influenti riviste Condé Nast di moda e costume. Nel corso di quindici anni Steichen produsse un corpus di opere di ineguagliabile genialità e si avvalse del proprio talento straordinario, accompagnato da una prorompente vitalità, per rappresentare e valorizzare la cultura contemporanea e i massimi esponenti della vita politica, letteraria, teatrale, operistica, con un occhio di riguardo per il mondo dell’alta moda. Avendo personalmente frequentato gli ambienti artistici più progressisti in patria e all’estero ed essendo un eclettico di carattere, era l’interprete ideale dell’alta moda in fotografia. Il suo era uno stile preciso, sofisticato e puntuale ed è evidente la sua influenza sull’opera di Richard Avedon, Horst P. Horst, George Hoyningen-Huene, Bruce Weber e non solo. L’archivio Steichen presso Condé Nast custodisce, oltre alle formidabili fotografie di moda, oltre 2000 stampe originali tra cui alcuni eccellenti ritratti di Winston Churchill, Cecil B. DeMille, Marlene Dietrich, Amelia Earhart, Greta Garbo, George Gershwin, Frank Lloyd Wright e di un’infinità di altri personaggi famosi. Ma stranamente finora è stato esposto e pubblicato solo un numero infinitesimale di queste stampe. Gli anni venti e trenta rappresentano il momento culminante della carriera fotografica di Steichen e tra le opere da lui realizzate per “Vogue” e “Vanity Fair” si annoverano alcune delle più stupefacenti fotografie del XX secolo.
