Avedon is not a mere testimony of our collective memory.He is an Oracle and a Sphinx, being there where he should,seeing &
seen, captured and capturing, knowing and
known. Always,for ages and ages, with grace,
elegance, style and with the very right eye.
No other photographer in history achieved to
approach, reveal and uncover the very people
that made the history of our generation.
And, with all this lifetime work of art,
he is still working, searching, creating.
He is the living proof that Photography is
not only testimony but the ultimate media for honest, magnificent and respectful Art.
His global work is subjective, brilliant and
most essential, it makes sense.
Chapeau, Monsieur Avedon !!
