Elliott Erwitt: Personal Best
Images via ICP
Photographer and filmmaker Elliott Erwitt is the most recent recipient of the ICP Infinity Award for Lifetime Achievement. Now through August 28th his work is on display (in New York City) at the International Center of Photography exhibit titled Elliott Erwitt: Personal Best.
Erwitt is a master of the “decisive moment”. His photographs illuminate familiar scenarios with comedic surprises. Often his images retain such depth that they require repeated glances. But in addition to his jocose images, Erwitt has also captured the momentary essence of Marilyn Monroe, Jacqueline Kennedy, and the like.
He is undoubtedly one of our favorites.
