Book of the Month
Written on April 22, 2008
Since the Morgan Library unfortunately did not have reproduction rights to the amazing Irving Penn portraiture exhibition they hosted the last few months, I had to ’settle’ for a book by Penn called A Notebook At Random, which I found to be fascinating…a method to this man’s amazing artistry. Worth picking up for sure.
Absolutely amazing, he’s the best photographer i have ever seen and a great artist.
I was just talking to my students about him today he is a constant source of inspiration. When I saw his retrospective at the Art institute of chicago a few years back it really change the way I look at prints.
