Portraits — Richard Avedon — 1976

Avedon’s portraits bring faces, gestures and the surfaces of the body into sharp focus, withholding the reassuring distance of a conventional celebrity photograph. The book pairs his images with an essay by Harold Rosenberg, allowing the portrait to remain an encounter between a sitter’s public presence and the photographer’s scrutiny.
