FlowersThis book is a selection of photographs Penn made for Vogue Christmas issues between 1967 and 1973, of seven different flower varieties: poppies, tulips, roses, lilies, peonies, orchids, and begonias. Penn’s sensitivity and eye for form is apparent in these detailed, close-up images which bring the flowers to life, even when he captures them as “they have already begun spotting and browning and twisting on their way back to the earth.” Due to the costs of printing in color, it took almost ten years for Penn to be able to find a publisher for this book. -- source link
