Since the 1980s, Peter Lindbergh one of the most-discussed interpreters of fashion internationally. Photographs in black-and-white using a pictorial language that takes its lead from early German cinema and from the free dance of the 1920s. Initially work for Vogue, first the Italian version, then the English, French and German and American ones, later for Marie-Claire, New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Allure and Rolling Stone. In 1992 he signed a four-year contract with the American Harper’s Bazaar in New York. At the same time he handled campaigns for Giorgio Armani, Jil Sander, Prada, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein. Portraits of Catherine Deneuve, Mick Jagger, Charlotte Rampling, Nastassja Kinski, Tina Turner, John Travolta, Madonna, Sharon Stone, John Malkovich and many others.

“Peter Lindbergh started working in Paris around the same time as Paolo Roversi, sometimes for the same magazines. However, his work developed in a completely different direction: powerful black-and-white photographs, rich in contrasts reflecting, as he puts it, his “melancholy Expressionist German vein”. The dramatic style of his photo series is the result of his interest in cinema: his work contains references to directors from Fritz Lang to Jim Jarmusch, thus displaying his reverence for photographers as different as Lartigue and Blumenfeld.”
