Peter Lindbergh was wary of society's fixation on outlandishly retouched women. Shadows on the Wall offers a stunning curation of truly individual, intimate images, with hardly any retouching or makeup. Handpicked from 37,000 photos of his groundbreaking 2017 Pirelli calendar shoot, Lindbergh offers an insight into a pool of extraordinary talent, from Alicia Vikander to Zhang Ziyi.

Peter Lindbergh once said, "What is merely beautiful has always bored me. I'm interested in what is powerful and real." With such credits as shooting the first American Vogue cover under Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, and bringing together for the first time a group of young women who would become the '90s supermodels, Lindbergh's influence is undeniable. His works have been showcased in numerous solo exhibitions at world-renowned institutions including the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, and the Gagosian in London. Peter Lindbergh (1944-2019) was a master of his craft who made his mark in the halls of photography history.

The industry quickly became enamoured with his almost anti-fashion photography, capturing the zeitgeist and the spirit of his subjects rather than pursuing today's search for perfection, which he considered inhuman.

Handpicked from 37,000 unreleased photos from his groundbreaking 2017 Pirelli calendar shoot, Shadows on the Wall offers an intimate insight into a pool of extraordinary talent: 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.

Lindbergh's message is simple. These intimate images represent a different kind of beauty, far away from society's obsession with youth and perfection; one which is concerned with individuality, the courage to be yourself, and your very own sensibility.
