The Christmas List:
Irving Penn: Platinum Prints by Sarah Greenough, David Summers(Contributor)
Irving Penn is still going strong shooting for American Vogue at the age of 90 plus. Over his long career he has created ‘some of the most arresting portraits, influential fashion studies, and provocative still lifes of the twentieth century. Since the early 1960s he has also made a limited number of platinum/palladium prints of his most celebrated photographs. A meticulous craftsman, Penn has experimented extensively with this process in order to make prints with remarkably subtle, rich tonal ranges and luxurious textures. In this book you’ll find these prints of Pablo Picasso, David Smith, Saul Steinberg, and Marcel Duchamp; studies of indigenous peoples in New Guinea and Peru’ . Buy it and frame them. Please.
