With the death of Irving Penn earlier this month, LATimes.com has put up an article on the influence Irving Penn and Richard Avedon have had on fashion photography with a small slideshow of Penn's photos through the years. Above is the lovely and giggly Jasper Johns in 2006. There's a beautiful photo of Frederick Kiesler and Willem de Kooning from 1960--de Kooning who I would have loved to know.
The article does no justice to the man and his legacy, but it's worth reading if you have no idea who/what I'm talking about.
