As one of
the giants of 20th-century photography, Irving Penn (1917–2009) was known for
his fashion photography, portraits and still lifes. His stunning large format,
black-and-white images of models and celebrities helped to define the look of
midcentury America. This retrospective mounted on the occasion of Penn’s 100th
birthday features some 200 examples of his work, which remains as indelible now
as when he first began to create it more than 60 years ago.
