The editorial fashion field was profoundly revolutionized, previously confined to studios, posed compositions, and often lacking authenticity. The past was disrupted by unpretentious images, spontaneous and fleeting where artistic sensibility often overshadowed the garment itself. Collaborating with various publishers, he found suitable settings for his innovations: subversive layouts, novel and almost constructivist, endowing diverse subjects with expressive souls. Munkácsi, firmly convinced of being an artist using photography as a medium, expressed his poetic vision through the camera. His first editorial was sensational and marked the beginning of a new way to interpret fashion photography. The model, Lucille Brokaw, was portrayed on the beach, in motion; the photographs were authentic and a success.

Despite the numerous challenges that marked his life, he managed to validate his work, which was widely recognized in Europe and overseas. In a subtle way, Munkácsi’s figure embodied social issues, with photographs of tragic moments that held social relevance, as well as directly addressing his Jewish origins in Germany, where he managed to collaborate until tensions arose. The twilight of his career coincided with family vicissitudes and an inexorably advancing of a new photographic taste. His historical significance lies precisely in his ability to weave technique, vision, and artistic expression in an avant-garde manner. A consolidated, precise aesthetic admired by many, which, like the subjects of his shots, eternally places him in history.
