A Beautiful Perspective

A Beautiful Perspective Irving Penn Forever Chic by Meg

If you haven’t had the opportunity, I suggest making time to view the Irving Penn Centennial at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  The show encompasses his entire seventy-year career and fascination with photography to discover the beauty that exists in everything.

Irving was gifted with a skilled eye and the ability to capture the unforgettable spirit of those he photographed.  The presentation represents all of his artistic pursuits including, The Flower Studies, Cigarette Series, and highly recognized portraits of models ranging from tribal cultures to iconic celebrity types and everything in-between.  Notably, regarded as the fashion shutterbug for all his unprecedented work in the fashion industry, which included the studies of Lisa Fonssagrives his wife of forty years.

Irving Penn was a fortunate man to have a career doing what he loved that in-turn gave him a lifetime of joy.  With only two weeks to spare, I included a glimpse of the show and a synopsis from the WSJ written by Lesley M.M. Blume to inspire a visit to view his talent through a lens with a beautiful perspective.

Forever Chic!
