Currently @ Palm Springs Art Museum is "Richard Avedon: Fashion, Stage, and Screen" in the Annenberg Wing until Jan 30, 2011.
His engaging and emotionally moving photographic images featured theatrical gestures, poses, and expressions combined with an attention to mise-en-scène. The dramatic elements in this work link his fashion photography to his interest in stage and cinema in New York and Hollywood. These photographs capture his enthusiasm for people engaged in roles that mesmerized and fascinated him, and they tell us as much about the relationship between performance and the body as they do about the people in them.
