"Wise and ebullient." - Dwight Garner, The New York Times

The first definitive biography of Richard Avedon, a monumental photographer of the twentieth century, from award-winning photography critic Philip Gefter.

In his acclaimed portraits, Richard Avedon captured the iconic figures of the twentieth century in his starkly bold, intimately minimal, and forensic visual style. Concurrently, his work for Harper's Bazaar and Vogue transformed the ideals of women's fashion, femininity, and culture to become the defining look of an era. Yet despite his driving ambition to gain respect in the art world, during his lifetime he was condescendingly dismissed as a celebrity photographer.

What Becomes a Legend Most is the first definitive biography of this luminary--an intensely driven man who endured personal and professional prejudice, struggled with deep insecurities, and mounted an existential lifelong battle to be recognized as an artist. Philip Gefter builds on archival research and exclusive interviews with those closest to Avedon to chronicle his story, beginning with Avedon's coming-of-age in New York between the world wars, when cultural prejudices forced him to make decisions that shaped the course of his life.

Compounding his private battles, Avedon fought to be taken seriously in a medium that itself struggled to be respected within the art world. Gefter reveals how the 1950s and 1960s informed Avedon's life and work as much as he informed the period. He counted as close friends a profoundly influential group of artists--Leonard Bernstein, Truman Capote, James Baldwin, Harold Brodkey, Renata Adler, Sidney Lumet, and Mike Nichols--who shaped the cultural life of the American twentieth century. It wasn't until Avedon's fashion work was exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the late 1970s that he became a household name.

Balancing glamour with the gravitas of an artist's genuine reach for worldly achievement--and not a little gossip--plus sixteen pages of photographs, What Becomes a Legend Most is an intimate window into Avedon's fascinating world. Dramatic, visionary, and remarkable, it pays tribute to Avedon's role in the history of photography and fashion--and his legacy as one of the most consequential artists of his time.

L'odyssйe amйricaine de Richard Avedon et James Baldwin

L'ouvrage magistral de Baldwin et Avedon publiй en 1964 enfin rййditй

Cette rййdition soignйe de l'ouvrage Nothing Personal signй Richard Avedon et James Baldwin explore les problйmatiques et les contradictions qui n'ont cessй d'кtre au coeur de l'histoire amйricaine, et se rйvиlent particuliиrement d'actualitй aujourd'hui, а l'иre de Donald Trump. Utilisant а la fois l'image et le texte, Avedon et Baldwin interrogent la formation de l'identitй et les liens qui sous-tendent autant qu'ils йbranlent les rapports humains. Un livret complйmentaire de 72 pages prйsente un essai inйdit de Hilton Als, critique et laurйat du prix Pulitzer, ainsi que de nombreuses photos supprimйes d'Avedon et jamais montrйes auparavant, des lettres, des prototypes de maquettes et des documents d'йpoque.

En 1963 et 1964, Richard Avedon, l'un des photographes de mode les plus cйlиbres au monde а l'йpoque, s'associe а James Baldwin, son ancien ami de lycйe devenu un romancier reconnu, un essayiste et une plume importante dans le combat pour les droits civiques aux Йtats-Unis, pour rйaliser Nothing Personal, un livre sur les conditions de vie en Amйrique.

Les sujets photographiйs par Avedon - des icфnes de la lutte pour les droits civiques, des intellectuels, des politiciens, des chanteurs pop, les patients d'un asile psychiatrique et des Amйricains ordinaires - sont soigneusement juxtaposйs, recadrйs et rigoureusement ordonnйs. Ainsi, le parti nazi amйricain est placй en regard du poиte juif et homosexuel Allen Ginsberg et un gйnйral Eisenhower usй cиde la place а un Malcom X en mouvement. Les patients diminuйs d'un asile psychiatrique en appellent а la chaleur humaine, et sont suivis par une mиre enlaзant son enfant.

L'essai polйmique en 4 parties de Baldwin renvoie la critique d'une sociйtй dйconnectйe, injuste et clivante, prise dans une crise existentielle. Dans ce tйmoignage extrкmement personnel et pertinent, l'йcrivain raconte sa propre expйrience de harcиlement par un policier raciste dans les rues de New York, sa ville d'origine. Pourtant Baldwin, comme Avedon, clфt son oeuvre sur l'incontournable besoin d'amour, et son pouvoir.

Mis en page par le lйgendaire directeur artistique Marvin Israel, Nothing Personal reprйsente le triomphe du minimalisme. Le format surdimensionnй du livre prйsentй dans son coffret blanc ainsi que le placement saisissant des images et du texte ont rйvolutionnй la mise en page et la forme des livres de photos. Cette rййdition soignйe de l'original, йpuisй depuis des dйcennies, a йtй produite en йtroite collaboration avec la fondation Richard Avedon.

Ancien collиgue d'Avedon au New Yorker et spйcialiste de l'oeuvre de Baldwin, Hilton Als raconte la fabrication de Nothing Personal et la relation personnelle et crйative entre Avedon et Baldwin. Als tйmoigne aussi avec йmotion de son amitiй avec Avedon et de l'impact que ce livre a eu sur sa propre vie.

А sa sortie en 1964, cette vision de l'Amйrique selon Avedon et Baldwin a inйvitablement divisй la critique, et les deux hommes ont essuyй les attaques les plus rudes, certainsles accusant de parler au nom de l'йlite libйrale, d'кtre des moralistes de Hollywood et de ne reprйsenter en rien le sentiment rйel des vrais Amйricains. Ceci vous rappelle quelque chose?

La sortie du livre coпncide avec l'exposition organisйe а la Pace/MacGill Gallery de New York, premiиre exploration exhaustive du travail d'Avedon pour Nothing Personal.

Описание: This monograph on the work of Gideon Lewin, master printer and assistant to Richard Avedon, reveals moments never told, stories never heard, and a life that only a few ever experienced. It is a story of a close working relationship and collaboration with a master.

Avedon: Behind the Scenes, 1964-1980 relates Lewin's personal experiences working with Richard Avedon for 16 years. It is about the hard work, the intrigues, the energy, the mysteries, the humor, and the commitment to creating images that were larger-than-life and will last for generations. This book illuminates many details about preparations for Avedon's major exhibitions, the master classes he was a part of, and many behind-the-scenes stories working on fashion collections in Paris and in New York for Harper's Bazaar and Vogue, photographing the world's most famous personalities and most beautiful women: Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn, Catherine Deneuve, Cher, Jean Shrimpton, Veruschka, Twiggy, Rene Russo, Patti Hansen, and Lauren Hutton. Finally, this book opens a window on the lighter side of Richard Avedon, as well as his total dedication to the art of photography in his determination to leave a legacy unlike that of any other photographer. With about 200 photographs Avedon: Behind the Scenes, 1964-1980 is a singular and remarkable journey.

Описание: An intimate biography of Richard Avedon, the legendary fashion and portrait photographer who "helped define America's image of style, beauty and culture" (The New York Times), by his longtime collaborator and business partner Norma Stevens and award-winning author Steven M. L. Aronson.

Richard Avedon was arguably the world's most famous photographer--as artistically influential as he was commercially successful. Over six richly productive decades, he created landmark advertising campaigns, iconic fashion photographs (as the star photographer for Harper's Bazaar and then Vogue), groundbreaking books, and unforgettable portraits of everyone who was anyone. He also went on the road to find and photograph remarkable uncelebrated faces, with an eye toward constructing a grand composite picture of America.

Avedon dazzled even his most dazzling subjects. He possessed a mystique so unique it was itself a kind of genius--everyone fell under his spell. But the Richard Avedon the world saw was perhaps his greatest creation: he relentlessly curated his reputation and controlled his image, managing to remain, for all his exposure, among the most private of celebrities.

No one knew him better than did Norma Stevens, who for thirty years was his business partner and closest confidant. In Avedon: Something Personal--equal parts memoir, biography, and oral history, including an intimate portrait of the legendary Avedon studio--Stevens and co-author Steven M. L. Aronson masterfully trace Avedon's life from his birth to his death, in 2004, at the age of eighty-one, while at work in Texas for The New Yorker (whose first-ever staff photographer he had become in 1992).

The book contains startlingly candid reminiscences by Mike Nichols, Calvin Klein, Claude Picasso, Renata Adler, Brooke Shields, David Remnick, Naomi Campbell, Twyla Tharp, Jerry Hall, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Bruce Weber, Cindy Crawford, Donatella Versace, Jann Wenner, and Isabella Rossellini, among dozens of others.

Avedon: Something Personal is the confiding, compelling full story of a man who for half a century was an enormous influence on both high and popular culture, on both fashion and art--to this day he remains the only artist to have had not one but two retrospectives at the Metropolitan Museum of Art during his lifetime. Not unlike Richard Avedon's own defining portraits, the book delivers the person beneath the surface, with all his contradictions and complexities, and in all his touching humanity.
