Peter Lindbergh. Shadows on the Wall in Bloomington, MN

“What is merely beautiful has always bored me. I’m interested in what is powerful and real
.” —Peter Lindbergh
With such credits as shooting the first American
Vogue
cover under Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, bringing together for the first time a group of young women who would become the
’90s supermodels
, 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 made his mark in the halls of
photography history
.
The industry quickly became enamored with his almost anti-fashion photography,
capturing the zeitgeist and the spirit of his subjects
rather than pursuing today’s search for perfection, which he considers inhuman.
Handpicked from
37,000 unreleased photos from his groundbreaking 2017 Pirelli calendar shoot
, Lindbergh offers an intimate insight into a pool of extraordinary talent:
Nicole Kidman
,
Julianne Moore
Alicia Vikander
Charlotte Rampling
Dame Helen Mirren
Jessica Chastain
Kate Winslet
Léa Seydoux
Lupita Nyong’o
Penélope Cruz
Robin Wright
Rooney Mara
Uma Thurman
, and
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
individuality, the courage to be yourself, and your very own sensibility
