Just a stunning record of one of the best photographers ever.I had the great honour of meeting Penn in 1988 at a conference, this book is the single best compilation of his work and a must for any photographers collection.
Extraordinary.This collection of Irving Penn's sublime portrait, still life and fashion photography does justice to the great master. It is a big, heavy volume, dense with pictures and some brief, but illuminating text. Easily one of the finest photo books ever published, right up there with Avedon's "In the American West" and Stieglitz's "Georgia O"Keefe."
Great photographs. They encapsulate an era.
The Best Fashion Book!
