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.

Artist Of The Week: Robert Frank

This photo by Robert Frank utilizes a focus on the woman near the front, it captures her mildly downtrodden expression and illustrates a scene with many people busy working on different things. I like this photo because these people seem to specialists or scientists of some kind, they are all wearing white coats and it reminds me of modern day images used to promote different fields.

I like this photo because of the style and old theme represented with the time period, not only are the buildings old, the street old, and the picture black and white, all the people walking are older, which leads me to wonder what they were doing there. They all have a clothing style that is very classic and retro and the whiteness/brightness of the sky adds a nice contrast.
