America fashion photographer Irving Penn passed away today at age 92.
Irving Penn, a grand master of American fashion photography whose “less is more” aesthetic, combined with a startling sensuality, defined a visual style that he applied to such varied subjects as designer dresses, cigarette butts and cosmetics jars, many of them now-famous photographs owned by leading art museums, has died. He was 92. Penn died Wednesday at his apartment in New York City, said his brother, film director Arthur Penn. The cause was not given. – From LA Times
