Photography. An old black and white photo of a man sitting on the banks of the Seine and fishing. The man in the white shirt sits in the flat grass and looks out over the water. In the background you can see an even row of tall, very thin trees on the bank. The trunks of the white trees are straight, with the exception of one tree, which has a slight bend. The tree trunks are reflected in the calm water, creating a strange symmetry and striped pattern throughout the photo. The man sits quietly in the center, and the crooked branch seems to lean towards him.
Info: Irving Penn (1917-2009) was one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. He captured famous cultural figures - including artists such as Jasper Johns, Pablo Picasso, Louise Bourgeois and Salvador Dalí - and fashion photography became an art form in its own right through his work for Vogue. Penn was known for his minimalist compositional style and often photographed his subjects in natural light. His images are characterized by simplicity and sophistication.
