As one of fashion’s most famous photographers, I was really excited to see the exhibit, and I wasn’t at all disappointed:) Richard Avedon’s career began in the 1940’s with his first published photos when he was just 21 years old. For decades he was the photographer for Harper’s Bazaar and then Vogue magazines. Avedon’s photography is most famous for soft focus textures, non-static energy, his use of ethnic models and perhaps most importantly the way he juxtaposed the uber-glamourous model subjects amidst unusual settings. These are only a few of my favorites from the exhibit….
I highly recommend making the trip to see this fabulous exhibit. I saw it at the Detroit Institute of Arts, but if that isn’t convenient to some of you, please find out where and when it will be near you! And to the City of Detroit- we had a fabulous and memorable time! Thank you:) More on our other wonderful experiences in Detroit later….. Have a fabulous day- Carrie
