Download or read book Irving Penn written by John Szarkowski and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most distinguished practitioners of portrait and fashion photography of the mid-twentieth century, Irving Penn's work is identified by its refinement of craft, by the wit and grace of its formal invention, and by its sensitivity to the quality and character of light. Backed by Vogue magazine, Penn brought a classic economy and concentration to the overblown world of fashion photography, to portraits of artists, writers, and theater people, and to ethnographic studies of style and ornament in little-known corners of West Africa, Nepal, Peru, and New Guinea. This book, published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, is the first comprehensive retrospective of Penn's work. The essay by John Szarkowski follows a brilliant career, from its art-school beginnings to the provocative still lifes, photographs of cigarette butts and street detritus--works of eloquence and classical rectitude, made from the least consequential of subject matter.--From publisher description.

Book Synopsis The Astronomers Plan a Voyage to Earth by : Irving Penn
Download or read book The Astronomers Plan a Voyage to Earth written by Irving Penn and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While working as a graphic artist in New York, Irving Penn made these drawings before ever taking his first photograph. Originally intended to accompany a short fable, this collection, made from 1939 to 1942, lay dormant until they were uncovered in 1996. Shortly later, Penn gave these drawings new life in a tale about distant space travelers planning a journey to Earth. Pencil renderings depict the benevolent astronauts and their space travel apparatus of cylinders, tubes, funnels, and spouts in this simple yet zen-like tale of exploration. The deluxe production of this book is consistent with Penn's renown for using the finest materials for his photographic work. Handsomely printed on heavy-weight paper, this clothbound, French-fold edition is a unique creation by one of the great artists of our time.
