This year, 2017, is the centenary of the birth of master photographer Irving Penn. New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art held a centennial exhibition which has now traveled to the Grand Palais, Paris, and is on view through January 29, 2018. The exhibition “looks back over his seventy-year career, with more than 235 photographic prints, all produced by the artist himself, as well as a selection of his drawings and paintings.” Read more.

Yousuf Karsh was photographed by Irving Penn and the portrait is seen here on the cover of the 1962 Karsh book In Search of Greatness.
