Phoenix Art Museum hosts Richard Avedon photography
Photographer Richard Avedon captured the civil rights movement, celebs, fashion models and much more. Even his simplest portraits, often taken against plain backgrounds, had depth. "No one has given a nation a more wide-ranging, disciplined photographic document of itself," the Times of London said of Avedon, who died in 2004.
Beginning Saturday, Phoenix Art Museum presents "Richard Avedon: Photographer of Influence," which will display his early fashion photographs as well as revealing portraits of actors, politicians, artists and intellectuals. The exhibition runs through April 13.
