Yevonde: an introduction to the woman who pioneered colour photography

Retrieved on:

Monday, April 24, 2023

Its opening exhibition, Yevonde: Life and Colour, will be the most comprehensive to date on British photographer, Yevonde Middleton (1893-1975).

Key Points:

Its opening exhibition, Yevonde: Life and Colour, will be the most comprehensive to date on British photographer, Yevonde Middleton (1893-1975).
Signing her work simply, Yevonde (though she also worked under “Madame Yevonde”), she was a celebrated portraitist, innovative colourist and advocate for women in the profession.
In the 1930s – against a tide of resistance – she championed the use of colour photography and was the first person in Britain to exhibit colour portraits.
In 1914, having just turned 21 – and with some funding from her family – she opened her first studio.

Colour photography and innovation

This reflected a widespread malaise in photographic portraiture, which was at that time stylistically confined to long-established conventions of black and white.
But it was with the advent of Vivex – a technically demanding process for colouring photographs – around 1930, that Yevonde’s breakthrough came, despite strong resistance to colour photography from within the profession and potential clients.
She declared that her priority was to use colour differently, to “produce a striking and original picture”.

Yevonde’s Goddesses Series

Yevonde’s most famous project – the Goddesses Series of 1935 – was inspired by a charity ball.
Each woman was furnished with props derived from Yevonde’s, sometimes whimsical, interpretation of their attributes.
For me, the series reveals both the extent and the limits of her pioneering spirit.
Most previous exhibitions have favoured Yevonde’s Goddesses Series.
