The Christmas List:
A Notebook at Random By Irving Penn Publisher: Bulfinch; (November 10, 2004)
This is the latest book from this amazing 87 year old photgrapher and was excerpted in the November issue of US Vogue . It looks incredible. “This is unusual because it has virtually no written text and is a collection of random works which together form a map of Penn’s artistic mind. It contains sketches and photographs presented un-pretentiously, one on a page. Each one is a key or entry point into Penn’s work and a hinge between him and the world of art and culture of his time. “ Photographing a cake can be art,” he says ( and eating one is too) $40 from http://www.amazon.com
