Irving Penn “Women, Warriors”
Masters Projects
This event has ended.
One of the world’s preeminent photographers, Irving Penn (1917–2009) is famous for his professional still life, portraiture, and fashion photography. By 1950, he had already established a successful career at Vogue magazine through a variety of projects. Yet, from this early point in his career, and throughout the remainder of his life, the artist dreamed about pushing beyond creative boundaries. The exhibition “Irving Penn: Women, Warriors” unites the artist’s first major non-commercial study—silver prints of posed nudes taken in New York between 1949-50—alongside platinum prints of his most ambitious personal undertaking: ethnographic portraits taken in Africa and the South Pacific throughout the early 70s.
