Thursday December 3, 2009

Richard Sennett, professor of sociology at New York University and the London School of Economics, examines the modern and contemporary artists who want to renew and refresh this marriage in the photographs in the exhibitions Irving Penn: Small Trades and In Focus: The Worker.
