A number of years ago Brodovitch was in the hospital and they said he was dying. I went to the hospital thinking it would be my last visit. There he was lying on the bed and I said hello.He said, "Thank you, Penn, for sending me a copy of your book,but.frankly, I must tell you it is terrible." I thought, is that the last word I would ever have from him? He really let me have it right there and l just took it.... You see, he was not cbarming. He was a special person and they don't come often. There isn't a designer or photographer in our time who hasn't felt the influence of Brodovitcb. The waves that went out from Harper's Bazaar since his.first issue are still rippling.
