Irving Penn

Born in 1917 in Plainfield, New Jersey, Irving Penn attended the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Arts from 1934–38 and studied with Alexey Brodovitch in his Design Laboratory.

Brodovitch taught the application of principles of modern art and design through exposure to magazines, exhibitions, architecture, and photography.

ALEXEY BRODOVITCH Brodovitch is well known for his approach to design for Bazaar magazine between 1934 - 1958. His contemporary approach to design separated him from other creators of his time and results in his work still being relevant today. The fluid shapes he uses for his text mirror the images on the facing pages of his designs, making his work visually aesthetic for the audience and additionally is what makes his work appear so iconic. Additionally, the use of negative space within Alexey Brodovitch’s design still influences designs today due to it’s contemporary, clean and crisp finish. Artists such as Matt Willey and Vince Frost also use this negative space to guide the audience’s eyes through the designs they create also - and thus may have taken inspiration from Brodovitch.

Harper’s Bazaar

Then he worked in New York as Brodovitch's assistant at Harper's Bazaar and various art director jobs, Penn went to Mexico to paint in 1941, traveling through the American South and taking photographs along the way. He was ultimately disappointed by his paintings and destroyed them before returning to New York late the following year.
