Description
With credits such as shooting the first cover of American Vogue under editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, bringing together for the first time a group of young women who would become the supermodels of the 1990s, and numerous solo exhibitions at world-renowned institutions including the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing and the Gagosian in London, Peter Lindbergh is a master of his craft who has left his mark on the corridors of photographic history.
The industry quickly fell in love with his almost anti-fashion photography, capturing the zeitgeist and spirit of his subjects rather than pursuing the current quest for perfection, which he considers inhuman. Handpicked from 37,000 previously unseen photographs from his groundbreaking 2017 Pirelli calendar shoot, Lindbergh offers an intimate look at a host of extraordinary talents: Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Charlotte Rampling, Dame Helen Mirren, Jessica Chastain, Kate Winslet, Lea Seydoux, Lupita Nyong’o, Penelope Cruz, Robin Wright, Rooney Mara, Uma Thurman and Zhang Ziyi. Their message is simple.
These images speak of a different kind of beauty, far from society’s obsession with youth and perfection; a beauty that is concerned with individuality, the courage to be oneself and one’s own sensitivity.
