The two images, which are on display in Milan side by side, show Avedon's relentless scrutiny. ![]() Avedon made a radically different pair of portraits of Capote: the earlier in 1955, when both men were in their early 30s, and a later one in 1974 when the two were in midlife. One of his subjects, the writer Truman Capote, became a collaborator and friend. The highly detailed pictures are an invitation to scrutinize the photograph and, of course, the person Avedon reveals. In his photographs, gesture, expression, clothing and facial features all convey information about the subject – their eyebrow hairs, wrinkles, makeup application, teeth and gaze all tell a story. The most recent show, " Richard Avedon: Relationships," is now being exhibited in Milan.Īvedon's portraits include so many rich details that they can feel more revealing than seeing someone in person. I curated my first exhibition of his work in 2007. What obligation does a portrait photographer have to their subject? Is it their duty to cast that person in the best light, or the most revealing light?Īs chief curator at the University of Arizona's Center for Creative Photography, I have worked with the images of fashion and portrait photographer Richard Avedon on a handful of occasions during my 16-year tenure.

It wasn’t much, just a pasture and some rocks, which, Kevin Barry tells us in “Beatlebone” (Doubleday, $24.95, 320 pages), “were harvested for ballast by the local fishing fleet.” Although Lennon wanted to establish a utopian community on Dorinish (in the early 1970s, he invited a group to start a commune on the land), he visited the island just twice. In 1967, John Lennon bought a small island off the west coast of Ireland called Dorinish. ![]() |
