| book description |

An unflinching exploration of aging from one of the twentieth centuryâ€™s most influential photographers For more than half a century, Richard Avedon sought to represent advancing age in the faces of the people he photographed. From his earliest years at Harperâ€™s Bazaar and Vogue through to the twenty-first century, Avedon routinely and audaciously broke the rule of flattering public personalities in his portraits. Instead, he chose to highlight the onslaught of what he called the â€œavalanche of age,â€ dramatizing the universal experience of getting older. Accompanying a groundbreaking exhibition at The Image Centre at Toronto Metropolitan University and The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Immortal is the first book to delve into Avedonâ€™s unflinching representation of aging throughout his career. This elegant hardcover volume features nearly 100 portraits of cultural luminaries, each printed in striking tritone, such as Michelangelo Antonioni, Truman Capote, Marcel Duchamp, Duke Ellington, Toni Morrison, Patti Smith, and Stephen Sondheim, as well as one of Avedonâ€™s last self-portraits. Texts by a star-studded cohort of authors, including Vince Aletti, Adam Gopnik, Paul Roth, and GaÃ«lle Morel, shed new light on an under-represented element of Avedonâ€™s practice. Thoughtfully edited and beautifully produced, Immortal testifies emphatically to the determination with which people confront the relentless advance of mortality.
