Whoa, um yeah, whoa! - Nick Alexander Excellent!!! Beautiful model!!! - Sue Jepson Excellent!!! Beautiful model!!! - Sue Jepson Hello, fellow Avedon fans. I knew almost nothing about him until I was in a photograph he took for his election project, this past August 26th (a photo of the "Billionaires for BUsh"). Now I'm discovering his amazing talent for the first time. It was a remarkable event to be there in his studio. He was so overflowing with energy! It is impossible to believe that when I met him he had only 4 weeks to live. He had an amazing way of connecting with people instantly. When he spoke to you, he made you feel like you were the only thing in the universe that mattered to him. He gave you his total attention. And he somehow took all of us sweaty protestors and made us look absolutely fabulous! He showed us the photo afterward, and he was almost jumping up and down with pleasure. I hope it will be in the New Yorker before the election, as planned, so I can see it again. I adored Richard Avedon immediately. I just wanted to hug him, and I wish I had. I miss him very much. - Kristine Allen beautiful image , i am really sad and it's a great loss for photography ......i will never forget him...... - francoise ha van , paris , france I´ve just heard about Avedon's death on TV and I come to visit his website. Avedon was a genius recognized all over the world. - Francisco Negrão Twenty-six years ago I saw his 30 year retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and was inspired to change my career and become a photographer. I wanted to make photographs like I saw on those walls. I just found out he died of a brain hemorrhage today, 10-1-04, at 81 in San Antonio, TX, while on assignment for The New Yorker. I am profoundly saddened by this news. He was a giant for me! This shot of Twiggy, along with the shots of John, Paul, Ringo and George, defined the sixties! He never used Photo Shop! - Clayton Hall, Empire West Studios, Tempe Zoot Horn Rollo! - Noah Lewin This image say more about the Colorific, drug-inspired, lightshow enhanced, playful aspects of the 60's than it does about it's subject. Come to think of it, those aspects ARE the subject! Twiggy just happened to have been present. - Jerry beautiful, and an almost perfect image. - mimi grande avedon - marco, ilalia paja - claudia ME GUSTA MUCHO - carmen icant see it!!! -
!Fabuloso,maestro: Acá en Perú, -sudamerica- tenemos unas ruinas incaicas inmensamente extraordinarias, Solo comparable, con su talento y sensibilidad. Debería fotografiar modelos en ellas. ! Yo invito ! - vilcachavez@hotmail.com "Twiggy" by Richard Avedon is my all time favorite print by any photographer. The way he captured her was a way that no one will ever be captured in again. He brought about another sense of beauty that had not yet been shown through any photograph. This is an amazing print and Richard Avedon's amazing technique's were shown through this. - Katie photosensitive phoenix - eyes and lip, emphasis; - saigon.

fabulous, electrifying!!! - carol kovin Shes like on fire, shes hot, very beautiful. - David Seri Incredible - Jeny magnificent - Dan Lilly Everyone seems to have an opinion about this. Everyone wants to say something happy. - Ronald Weldon Cowie Is this not an example of using an effect where it does not add in any way to the image. Stick to the basics, they work better - Stephen Mather Glasgow Scotland ....in total aww after a long night of hot an heavy good loven from her one and only surfer boy - smilndog An angel in thought, slowly and meticulously rying to make up her mind which to follow. Good or evil. Stunning image. - Patric Michaux You have gotten better and better. - Jal Duncan I have always loved Avedon's work. When I recall the 60s many of these images are ones that come to mind. - Rich I Love your lighting and composition but I like your stuff better without the special effects. - Kim S fantestic - sonja Wish I was around to photograph the sixties.. You capture it so well and make it look like a great party. - S. Berger Maestro: Usted es brillante, fantastico. - Luis F. Marquez Absolutely fantastic! Each image defines an era. - David Martin -Zé, essa foto é foda, me amarrei... caramuru, caramuru - Tibico Brasil Dear Dick, - Julie Anne Quay THIS IMAGE SHOWS THE IMAGINATION AND FLAIR THAT HAS GAINED THE AUTHOR THE REPUTATION HE HAS TODAY - ITS JUST BRILLIANT. - ANDY EVANS - FOLKESTONE-ENGLAND ONLY YOU MASTER COULD BE POSSIBLE, TAKED THE 1000 CONGRATULATIONS!!!! - HECTOR RODRIGUEZ whats with the chessy polarization tho? I liked this image as a plain one. - Cheesy The movement of her hair and off-centered face personify the sycadelic nature of the sixties. Bravo! - Rachel This is timeless. We know it's Twiggy and that makes it sixties but it is not about her "twigginess". Her shape is not being exploited here. It is about energy and light, about the presence of this woman, Leslie Hornby - and about Richard Avedon's ability to share that with us. It is inspiration for all time. - Wendy Farrow, Vancouver B.C., Canada |
