Summary

Acclaimed for his portraits of people and women of great beauty, Richard Avedon was one of the 20th century's greatest photographers - but perhaps not the most obvious choice to create a portrait of ordinary people of the American West. This work shows Avedon's working methods, choice of subjects, creative process, and experiments and failures.
