This exhibition of nearly thirty photographs spanning the 1940s to the 2000s explores Irving Penn’s notion of “photographism,” a neologism that Penn coined but never defined. Its etymology suggests that Penn’s photography drew from different mediums: the graphic fine arts, such as drawing and painting; the graphic design of commercial print media; and writing, particularly of a nature rich in “graphic details.” The exhibition proposes that photographism was Penn’s stylistic approach—a type of photography marked by an arresting clarity born from the crosspollination of media.
