Avedon literally changed the way women and fashion were photographed. His startling, "alive" ,smart and moving compositions have defined what fashion photography should be-an art that captures you instantly and tells a story -and not only about the clothes. Working primarily with Vogue and Harper's Bazaar Richard Avedon's images became icons of fashion history.
Each photograph is a celebration not only of exquisite fashion but also the portrayal of women in the late 20th century...
Smart, witty, spirited, alive, elegant, dynamic...
and of course glamorous.
A new exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston began this month-Avedon Fashion 1944-2000 showcasing decade by decade the photographer who brought fashion forward and immortalized style.
