{"title":"Richard Avedon","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRichard Avedon (1923–2004) was an American photographer who transformed both fashion and portrait photography. Working for Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and The New Yorker, he introduced movement and psychological tension into editorial images. His stark white-background portraits culminated in projects including In the American West, while books such as Observations expanded his practice through sequencing and collaboration. Darwin selects Avedon for collapsing distinctions between commission, portrait, social document and constructed photographic performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"in-the-american-west-richard-avedon-harry-n-abrams-2005","title":"In the American West — Richard Avedon — Harry N.

Made over five years, the project replaces the heroic visual language of the West with frontal encounters shaped by scale, detail and physical presence. This twentieth-anniversary edition restores the landmark 1985 book, adding a foreword by John Rohrbach while retaining Avedon’s text and Laura Wilson’s project journal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTitle: In the American West\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ Author: Richard Avedon\u003cbr\u003eDate: 2005\u003cbr\u003eEdition: 20th Anniversary Edition\u003cbr\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Hardcover with clear dust jacket\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 36.2 × 28.6 cm\u003cbr\u003ePages: 184\u003cbr\u003eImages: 120 black-and-white photographs\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eTexts: Richard Avedon \/ Laura Wilson \/ John Rohrbach\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Harry N.
