Richard Avedon - America West





Inspirational portraits from Avedon showing everyday life of an working american.I admire the use of a white backdrop almost as if nothing else is supposed to draw your eye other than the subject in the foreground.The images feels disheartening and full of grimness and looks full of sheer dirt and grittiness .Yet its pleasing to view your looking at real people which i think is Avedon concept in this exhibition.
