Irving Penn was one of the most respected photographers of the 20th century. In a career that began at the premiere fashion magazine Vogue in 1943 and spans more than six decades, he created innovative fashion, still life, and portrait studies. His photographs are defined by the elegant simplicity and meticulous rigor that became the trademarks of his style
Irving Penn: Small Trades begins with an overview of the Small Trades photographs Penn created in Paris, London and New York in 1950 and 1951. The first gallery includes original gelatin silver prints, as well as French, British, and American editions of Vogue magazine that published selections of the photographs from each city. Several galleries are devoted to the platinum/palladium prints that Penn began to make after several years of experimentation in the mid-1960s.
Irving Penn: Small Trades is on view at the Getty Center 1200 Getty Center Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90049.
