In A Career That Spans More Than Fifty Years, Photographer Irving Penn Has Created Some Of The Most Arresting Portraits, Influential Fashion Studies, And Provocative Still Lifes Of The Twentieth Century.

Included In This Handsomely Designed And Beautifully Produced Book Are Platinum/Palladium Prints Of Some Of Penns Most Important Photographs: Portraits Of Pablo Picasso, David Smith, Saul Steinberg, And Marcel Duchamp; Studies Of Indigenous Peoples In New Guinea And Peru; Innovative
