Incredibly sad news. Irving Penn, the iconic fashion photographer, died last week.Perhaps you aren't familiar with Penn? Oh, but you are.
The in house Vogue photographer (and Richard Avedon's rival), went from photographing models to photographing food but his work was always amazing.
He once described the art of photography as "one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective."
Thankfully, he helped bridge the line between excellent art and excellent fashion. And we will all be forever grateful.
