I'm grateful to find this thread. While I adore his fashion imagery, I think Penn's photographs of indigenous and working people are superior.

Cuzco Children, 1948

Three Asaro Mud Men, New Guinea, 1970

Chimney Sweep, London, 1950

All the Lisa Fontgraves pictures are amazing. I love how geometric they are.

lalmrnt5 ... this doesn't look like American Vogue to me ... it's got what looks like Korean on the credits/blurb .... maybe you can check your source, again? I'd be interested in knowing what it really was.

 

[ialmrnt5]

It is because they are reprints, Irving works for no one but US Vogue... the scans from US Vogue weren't as good quality.

 

[BetteT]

Ah ... OK ... that sort of makes sense. Thanks.

Upon close inspection I see it's Vogue Nippon ... so I was way off on the "Korean" thing.

Happy birthday dear Penn!

Born 16th June 1917.

By the way: Irving Penn prefers just "Penn" - not Mr. Penn, not Irving...

I can't believe that he's NINETY! He's produced some of the most amazing work in fashion photography.

i love that you can tell that last photo of marisa berensen wasn't airbrushed..
in any photo or magazine today you know that the lines of her front leg would have been straightened out...
i find the natural look of the photo so much more appealing..
