The Met presented a major retrospective of the photographs of Irving Penn to mark the centennial of the artist\u2019s birth. Over the course of his nearly 70-year career, Irving Penn (1917\u20132009) mastered a pared-down aesthetic of studio photography that is distinguished for its meticulous attention to composition, nuance, detail, and printmaking. It was the most comprehensive exhibition of the great American photographer\u2019s work to date.\u00a0Penn was first and foremost a fashion photographer. He\u00a0dealt with many subjects throughout his long career. The exhibition explored the\u00a0chapters of his work. View the video<\/a>.<\/p>\n
