DPH.Herb Ritts Herb Ritts began his photographic career in the late 1970s, and in addition to producing portraits and editorial fashion for Vogue, Vanity Fair, Interview and Rolling Stone, Ritts created extraordinarily successful advertising campaigns for designers such as Calvin Klein, Chanel, Gap, and Gianni Versace. Since 1988 he directed numerous influential and award winning music videos and commercials. His photographs are characterized by a simple and strong graphic quality, with clean lines and strong forms. Highlighted in this tour are his iconic portraits of Jack Nicholson, Madonna, Dustin Hoffman, and Dale Chihuly. /internal/media/dispatcher/765869/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail;jsessionid=BA671F8E60A629C1AD2EC0D98DC1C8E5 Black Female Torso, Los Angeles 1987 Herb Ritts 2000.857 313524 /internal/media/dispatcher/746818/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail;jsessionid=BA671F8E60A629C1AD2EC0D98DC1C8E5 Dale Chihuly, Seated, Los Angeles 1995 Herb Ritts 2000.891 313558 /internal/media/dispatcher/765871/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail;jsessionid=BA671F8E60A629C1AD2EC0D98DC1C8E5 Darati, Profile, Africa 1993 Herb Ritts 2000.860 313527 /internal/media/dispatcher/765868/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail;jsessionid=BA671F8E60A629C1AD2EC0D98DC1C8E5 Dizzy Gillespie, Paris 1989 Herb Ritts 2000.855 313522 /internal/media/dispatcher/998590/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail;jsessionid=BA671F8E60A629C1AD2EC0D98DC1C8E5 Dustin Hoffman, Los Angeles 1986 Herb Ritts 2000.888 313555 /internal/media/dispatcher/746804/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail;jsessionid=BA671F8E60A629C1AD2EC0D98DC1C8E5 Female Nude, Detail, Hawaii 1989 Herb Ritts 2000.868 313535 /internal/media/dispatcher/746809/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail;jsessionid=BA671F8E60A629C1AD2EC0D98DC1C8E5 Female Nude with Black Sand, Hawaii 1989 Herb Ritts 2000.876 313543 /internal/media/dispatcher/757343/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail;jsessionid=BA671F8E60A629C1AD2EC0D98DC1C8E5 Female Torso with Veil, Paradise Cove 1984 Herb Ritts 2000.866 313533 /internal/media/dispatcher/757342/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail;jsessionid=BA671F8E60A629C1AD2EC0D98DC1C8E5 Fred with Tires, Hollywood 1984 Herb Ritts 2000.862 313529 /internal/media/dispatcher/746802/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail;jsessionid=BA671F8E60A629C1AD2EC0D98DC1C8E5 George Wallace II, Montgomery 1995 Herb Ritts 2000.865 313532 /internal/media/dispatcher/746801/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail;jsessionid=BA671F8E60A629C1AD2EC0D98DC1C8E5 George Wallace I, Montgomery 1995 Herb Ritts 2000.864 313531 /internal/media/dispatcher/1059037/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail;jsessionid=BA671F8E60A629C1AD2EC0D98DC1C8E5 Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Point Dume 1987 Herb Ritts 2000.889 313556 /internal/media/dispatcher/752499/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail;jsessionid=BA671F8E60A629C1AD2EC0D98DC1C8E5 Jack Nicholson, Los Angeles 1986 Herb Ritts 2000.886 313553 /internal/media/dispatcher/752496/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail;jsessionid=BA671F8E60A629C1AD2EC0D98DC1C8E5 Jump, Paradise Cove 1987 Herb Ritts 2000.869 313536 /internal/media/dispatcher/757145/resize%25253Aformat%25253Dthumbnail;jsessionid=BA671F8E60A629C1AD2EC0D98DC1C8E5 k.d.
