Irving Penn (1917-2009), one of the undisputed masters of twentieth-century photography, is known for his iconic images of haute couture and still life, but also, and above all, for his magnificent portraits of the artists, writers and celebrities who marked the cultural landscape of their time.
Born in 1941, Vittorio Manunta is an Italian child star, best known for his roles in Maurice Cloche's The Small Miracle (1951) and Peppino e Violetta (1951) and Joseph Losey's A Man to Destroy (1952)
This photograph was shown for the first time by Pinault Collection in 2023 during the exhibition “Irving Penn, Artists' Portraits”, Villa Les Roches Brunes, Dinard.
