Eye in Keyhole, New York
Irving Penn's *Eye in Keyhole, New York* is a striking dye transfer print that captures a single, intense eye peering through the narrow opening of a keyhole, creating a powerful sense of voyeurism and mystery. Penn's masterful use of light and shadow emphasizes the eye's detail against the stark contrast of the surrounding darkness. The image plays with themes of surveillance and intimacy, inviting the viewer to question who is watching whom.
