Irving Penn

"I myself have always stood in awe of the camera.I recognize it for the instrument that it is ,part Stradivarius, part scalpel"

Celebrated for more than sixty years of masterly work at Voque magazine,Irving Penn was a superb photographer of style,but his attention to fashion was merely no aspect of his lifelong study of face and figure, attitude and demeanor, adornment and artifact.As his penetrating portraits reveal,Penn had few equals as an observer of human expression.He also had an acute graphic intelligence and sculptor's sensitivity to volumes in light.These talents came to the fore in his studies of the nude and in still life,a genre he favored throughout his career.He did many master pieces for companies as Chanel,Dior and L'Oréal.
