Artist of the Week: Irving Penn

This photo by Irving Penn is the most piercing black and white i've seen. The symmetry of the face, paired with focused large eyes, large lips and freckles gives a beautiful image of this lady's face. The position of the hand right underneath her chin and constricting ring slightly overlaying the edge of her face gives her a more prideful or sassy look, the thick eyebrows, abundance of hair and large eyelashes.
This monochromatic style by Irving Penn nicely captures this biker's gang. Their expressions and cool atmosphere is shown through their postures and the darkness of their figures against the lightness of the background and floor. The Harly Davidsons seem to be at the center of the image, each person laying on, sitting on, or revolving around the bikes.
