Celebrated Vogue contributor Irvin Penn, whose nudes in this book return the female form to a pleasurable realm of 'flesh'. Using historical references from Brancusi, Matisse, Arp and Miró, these nudes transcend the usual categories, creating a mix of sculptural shape and linear art. It's borderless like the "Full women, freshly apple, hot moon" of Pablo Neruda.
