SABATO, EL DIEZ DE OCTUBRE, DOS MIL NUEVE
Just heard that Irving Penn passed away three days ago, aged 92. His famous Vogue cover image of 1950 (Below) taught me about the wonders of photographic fashion design cropping, having been familiar with the final cover, seeing the original photograph (left) showed how a subtle trim either side can change the whole feel of a photograph. His portraits of Truman Capote are great too, but I couldn't pass up the fantastic Jasper Johns photo below.
We unfortunately missed the Penn show at the Morgan Library in NYC by 3 months last year, would have been great to see, although, you can't be everywhere, all the time.
