The Annenberg Space For Photography: Beauty Culture

I was at The Annenberg Space For Photography on yesterday to view their latest exhibit: Beauty Culture. The majority of the images are rather iconic so you've probably already seen most of them in popular magazines. It was indeed a treat, though, to be able to view them in one setting, printed in larger formats. The exhibit was broken down into several different categories: What Size Is Beauty? and What Color Is Beauty? being just two of them. Images presented were by such renowned photographers as, Albert Watson, Herb Ritts, Norman Jean Roy, et al. 

If you have the time, make it a point to see the twenty minute film on Beauty by Lauren Greenfeld; enlightening, shocking, beautiful and a little disturbing.

Since they don't allow to to take pictures of the pictures, following are just a few of the portraits from the exhibit that I "borrowed" from their website to share with you.   (All images via The Annenberg Space For Photography_)
