Beauty is not only defined by idealized imgaes. In “Female Beauty IV,” Yousuf Karsh’s portrait of Mother Teresa and Elliot Erwitt’s photograph of Simone de Beauvoir testify to the fact that beauty beyond appearance is also based on behavior.

The exhibition also features portraits of supermodels such as Naomi Campbell, Waris Dirie, Kate Moss, and Claudia Schiffer, and of actresses such as Monica Belluci, Audrey Hepburn, and Angelina Jolie.
