"The merely beautiful has always bored me. I am interested in the powerful and the real." ─ Peter Lindbergh
With extraordinary professional successes such as the first cover of the US edition of Vogue with Anna Wintour as editor-in-chief, for which he brought together a group of young women who would become the supermodels of the 1990s, and numerous solo exhibitions in world-renowned institutions, such as the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, and the Gagosian gallery in London, Peter Lindbergh is a master of photography who has left his mark on the history of this discipline.
The industry quickly fell in love with his almost anti-fashion fashion photography, in which he captures the spirit of the times and the soul of the models instead of chasing after the perfection so sought after today, which Lindbergh considers inhumane.
The images in this book, carefully chosen from 37,000 unpublished photographs taken for his groundbreaking 2017 Pirelli calendar, offer an intimate look at a cast of extraordinarily talented women: Nicole Kidman, Julianne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 images by Lindbergh speak of a different kind of beauty, far from today's obsession with youth and perfection; a beauty full of individuality, the courage to be oneself, and personal sensitivity.
