Irving Penn has passed away at age 92. I always admired his work, but when I got to see some of his prints up close earlier this year at the "The Model as Muse" show at the Met, I was blown away. This 1951 photo is of supermodel Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn, who was Penn's wife. Amazing. Penn's obituary is here and the New York Times has also posted a gallery of his images.
