Irving Penn (1917Ð2009) was among the most esteemed and influential photographers of the 20th century.

This indispensable book features one of the largest selections of PennÕs photographs ever compiled, including famous and beloved images as well as works that have never been published. Celebrating the centennial of PennÕs birth, this lavish volume spans the entirety of his groundbreaking career. An enlightening introduction situates his work in the context of the various artistic, social, and political environments and events that affected the content of his photographs. Lively essays acquaint readers with PennÕs primary subjects and campaigns, including early documentary scenes and imagery; portraits; fashion; female nudes; peoples of Peru, Dahomey (Benin), New Guinea, and Morocco; still lifes; and much more. Irving Penn: Centennial is essential for any fan of this artistÕs work or the history of 20th-century photography.
