History Editorial Review
Avedon at Work: In the American West offers a rare glimpse into the mind of an artistic genius. One of the great masters of portraiture, Richard Avedon's process is invaluable to photography enthusiasts. The author shares behind-the-scenes photos and stories, providing insight into Avedon's creative process and choices. The book is a wonderful condensation of the activities undertaken for Avedon's magnum opus, In the American West. The presentation of images and text alternates, creating an engaging reading experience. The last few pages add further context to the project, making it a profound and insightful meditation on one of the landmark art/photography projects of the 20th century.
