influences...

Richard Avedon
  • With many achievement awards and exhibitions, has been visual consultant for the film Funny Face, with Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn, based on his own career and photographed for many including Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and the New Yorker.
  • I can see so many similarities and comparisons between his work and work of other more recent artists which i like aswell and can see how they have been influenced by his work.
  • An example of this would be his Dovima, hat by balenciaga, Maxims, Paris, August 1955 and the august 1957 Vogue front cover, by Norman Parkinson, which i remember due to painting it for my A-levels!
