These frank sentiments of the late, annoyingly literary George Moore got some rich encouragement last week. The best-known photographer of Harper's Bazaar had turned his glamorizing lenses on Gizeh and Thebes (see cuts). Baron George Hoyningen-Huene (pronounced Hoyningen-Hew-ney), 43, collaborated with Egyptologist George Steindorff, formerly of Leipzig University, in the publication of a super-glossy picture book with a short but solid text, Egypt (J.

To his own women-readers Nast brought the excitement of modern art, from Seurat to Modigliani and to Covarrubias, the breath-taking photography of Steichen, Beaton, Lohse, Baron Hoyningen-Huene; and the vivid drama of fashion-drawings by Carl Ericsson, Sigrid Grafstrom, Count René Bouët-Willaumez and many others, which in turn influenced all U.S. advertising art.
