i couldn't resist more of irving penns work to show the diversity of his subject matter...truly inspiring! i mean, who could make cigarette butts look like art? ( and no 'tracy emin' answers please!)
irving penn passed away today. coincidentally i went to see the small trades exhibition at the getty today...unbelievable images of tradesmen in the '50's. the images above just show how a true inspirational genius can adapt to different subject matter.
