Westerbeck, Colin; Eisler, Colin; Miyake, Issey; Carpenter, Edmund; Jankauskas, Jennifer; Bernier, Rosamond; Harrison, Martin. Chicago: The Art Institute of Chicage; Bulfinch/Little, Brown 1998 . Second printing. Full black cloth. 192 pages. Illustrated. Index. A clean, attractive copy. “In his fashion photographs, Penn combines glamour and wit; in his portraits of artists and writers (the series of such notables as Martha Graham, Marcel Duchamp, and Georgia O’Keeffe wedged into a cleverly constructed corner set are especially compelling), Penn reveals both the drama and the danger of the creative life; in his nudes, he discovers the body’s eternal mystery; in his portraits of New Guinea tribesmen, he further explores the body as sculpture, attire as art. Even when Penn casts his eyes on something as classic as a tulip, or as commercial as cosmetics, he makes magic.” – BL Book: Very Good. Dust Jacket: Very Good.
