Drawings is a collection of works by Irving Penn, one of the most representative photographers of the 20th century. He first rose to prominence through editorials in fashion magazines such as Vogue, and his first book, Moment Preserved, published in 1960, is a monumental work in the history of postwar American photography, along with Richard Avedon's Observations. Then, Flowers, published in 1980, is still a model for flower photobooks and continues to captivate many photography fans. Yasuhiro Ishimoto also highly praises Penn's Flowers as one of the masterpieces of still life, and it is certainly displayed on the shelves of his own studio. His own collection of floral works, Hana, is also a work that shows the influence of Penn. This book is a rare one that introduces the "drawing" works of such a creative Penn. It is a book that gives a glimpse of a new side of Penn, who has continued to draw various pictures for many years, sometimes as storyboards for photographs and sometimes as works of art.
