PENN, IRVING: PHOTOGRAPHS/ FOTOGRAFIER. A Donation in Memory of Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn/ En Donation Till Minne av Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn

Sweden 1995. Irving Penn is one of the our century’s most influential and important photographers. The 100 photographs in his donation to Moderna Museet are a most representative selection of five decades of work. The motifs range from the world of fashion to the world of the Moroccan nomads, from urban elegance to discarded cigarette butts, from naked bodies to dressed up celebrities. Each subject, each human being, appears to be detached, like a singular phenomenon; like a unique, timeless moment. Organized into five thematic sections with stunning reproductions of his photographs, this book successfully reveals the range and depth of this outstanding photographer’s talent., English/ Swedish, Year1995, Illust.
