The definitive book on the work of a virtuosic and revered American
photographer Irving Penn (1917-2009) was among the most esteemed
and influential photographers of the 20th century. Over the course
of a nearly seventy-year career, he mastered a pared-down aesthetic
of studio photography that is distinguished for its meticulous
attention to composition, nuance, and detail. This indispensable
book features one of the largest selections of Penn's photographs
ever compiled, including famous and beloved images as well as works
that have never been published. Celebrating the centennial of
Penn's birth, this lavish volume spans the entirety of his
groundbreaking career. An enlightening introduction situates his
work in the context of the various artistic, social, and political
environments and events that affected the content of his
photographs. Lively essays acquaint readers with Penn's primary
subjects and campaigns, including early documentary scenes and
imagery; portraits; fashion; female nudes; peoples of Peru, Dahomey
(Benin), New Guinea, and Morocco; still lifes; and much more.
Irving Penn: Centennial is essential for any fan of this artist's
work or the history of 20th-century photography. Published by The
Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press
