Lindbergh, Shadows on the Wall - Peter Lindbergh, TASCHEN

“What is merely beautiful has always bored me. I’m interested in what is powerful and real.” —Peter LindberghWith such credits as shooting the first American&,nbsp,Vogue&,nbsp,cover under Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, bringing together for the first time a group of young women who would become the&,nbsp,’90s supermodels, and numerous&,nbsp,solo exhibitions at world-renowned institutions&,nbsp,including the&,nbsp,Pushkin Museum&,nbsp,in Moscow, the&,nbsp,Ullens Center for&,nbsp,Contemporary&,nbsp,Art&,nbsp,in Beijing, and the&,nbsp,Gagosian&,nbsp,in London,&,nbsp,Peter Lindbergh&,nbsp,is a master of his craft who has made his mark in the halls of&,nbsp,photography history.The industry quickly became enamored with his almost anti-fashion photography,&,nbsp,capturing the zeitgeist and the spirit of his subjects&,nbsp,rather than pursuing today’s search for perfection, which he considers inhuman.Handpicked from&,nbsp,37,000 unreleased photos from his groundbreaking 2017&,nbsp,Pirelli&,nbsp,calendar shoot, Lindbergh offers an intimate insight into a pool of extraordinary talent:&,nbsp,Nicole Kidman,&,nbsp,Julianne Moore,&,nbsp,Alicia Vikander,&,nbsp,Charlotte Rampling,Dame Helen Mirren,&,nbsp,Jessica Chastain,&,nbsp,Kate Winslet,&,nbsp,Léa Seydoux,&,nbsp,Lupita Nyong’o,&,nbsp,Penélope Cruz,&,nbsp,Robin Wright,&,nbsp,Rooney Mara,&,nbsp,Uma Thurman, and&,nbsp,Zhang Ziyi.His message is simple. These intimate images represent a different kind of beauty, far away from society’s obsession with youth and perfection, one which is concerned with&,nbsp,individuality, the courage to be yourself, and your very own sensibility.
