The master summarized.

If Irving Penn is a new name to you, you must get this book. If not, there’s no better place to find a summary of the many genres Penn mastered. Fashion, still lifes, African primitives, portraits of the famous, platinum printing.

Long discontinued, good copies can be had through Amazon’s booksellers. Mine ran me $40 in near-mint condition.

Unreservedly recommended.
