Irving Penn




Over interessante 'eetfotografie' gesproken. Vooral de voorkant van het boek vind ik mooi.

"One of the first challenges any art student is confronted with is the routine still life: flowers, fruit, vases, objects of everyday life. There seems to be a prevalent philosophy that this format serves as a basic starting point for tapping into your yet-to-be developed artistic potential or, likewise, discovering you haven't any. As a result, still lifes often receive a big yawn of enthusiasm as just another bunch of fruit, lacking a unique perspective and style. Of course, this is the same unenlightened thought process that buys a piece of art because it matches the couch."
