Lord of the Cosmos

Fashion photographer Francesco Scavullo just died at age 82. Scavullo's claim to fame were his glossy covers of 'Cosmpolitan' magazine in the '70s and '80s. Whether the subject was a model or celebrity, it seemed like every woman he photographed had the same vapid, lobotomized look. My own favorites were his Madonna sessions circa '84 - it was a true merging of two artists' styles. Madonna wore heavy makeup and severe, cropped bangs for the session - giving her the look of a deranged china doll.
