\u2028Exhibition celebrating the work of one of Britain\u2019s most remarkable photographers<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n www.jewishmuseum.org.uk Jewish Museum London\u2019s Welcome Gallery presents a retrospective of the late British photographer Elsbeth Juda<\/strong>, a Jewish \u00e9migr\u00e9 who brought a new modernist artistic vision to Britain from Germany. Although a trailblazing female photographer, Juda’s artistic contribution is largely unrecognised today. She disregarded commercial photography\u2019s formal conventions, using unusual, often incongruous backdrops for her shoots.<\/p>\n Juda was best known for her work for The Ambassador<\/em> magazine in the 1950s and 1960s. This exhibition, organised in collaboration with L\u2019Equipement des Arts, showcases a selection of her output, featuring glamorous commercial shots and portraits of some of the best-known faces in British art and design. Subjects range from Barbara Goalen, Britain\u2019s first supermodel, and the Sadler\u2019s Wells Ballet to the likes of Winston Churchill and Henry Moore.<\/p>\n Juda was born in Germany in 1911 and fled Nazi occupation for London with her husband Hans in 1933. In 1946, Hans relaunched the established trade journal International Textiles<\/em> as The Ambassador<\/em> magazine, focused on promoting British fashion, art, culture, trade and industry for the global export market. With Hans as editor and Elsbeth as in-house photographer and associate editor, The Ambassador<\/em> was published monthly in English, German, French and Portuguese, and had subscribers in over 90 countries. The magazine coined the phrase \u201cexport or die\u201d to justify Juda\u2019s elaborate photo-shoots.<\/p>\n Juda also worked for advertising companies and fashion magazines including Harper\u2019s Bazaar. She studied photography with the Bauhaus photographer Lucia Moholy (wife of artist L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Moholy-Nagy) and was extremely well connected in the London art world.<\/p>\n For further information or images please contact:<\/strong> About Jewish Museum London<\/strong><\/p>\n Our mission at the Jewish Museum London is to surprise, delight and engage all people, irrespective of background and faith, in the history, identity and culture of Jews in Britain.
