Avedon

Plot

Richard Avedon’s photographs didn’t just reflect culture, they shaped it, and continue to do so. The feature documentary AVEDON traces the life and legacy of an artist who used fashion, portraiture, and commercial photography to explore identity, power, fear and beauty. With unprecedented access to Avedon’s archive, including never before seen photos, behind the scenes recordings, and interviews with those who knew him best, AVEDON is a visually stunning examination of the mind of an artist who shaped our collective image of the 20th century.
