Irving Penn - Paperback Color:Active and the natural landscapeThis book, published in conjunction with and exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, is the first comprehensive retrospective of Penn's work. The essay by John Szarkowski follows a brilliant career, from its art school beginnings to the provocative still lives of recent years, photographs of cigarette butts and street detritus works if eloquence and classical rectitude, made from the least consequential of subject matter. 216 pp.; 156 illus.
