Abrams, NY, 2005. Cloth. Book Condition: Mint. Dust Jacket Condition: Mint. First edition, first printing. Large 4to.

And what could be more elemental than women, who have mesmerized artists across the centuries? Looking at his work in this way, Avedon was able to create an unparalleled view of women in his time, a tumultuous half century of rapidly changing social facts, cultural ideals, popular styles, and high fashion.

Like the best of art and literature, they evoke rich lives and complex experiences. An incisive essay by art historian Anne Hollander offers an overview of a half century of Avedon s images of women. 247 Pages...Lavishly and profuselly illustrated through out with full page Bla ...
