The photo book "In The American West" was the turning point for Richard Avedon. At the request of the Amon Carter Museum in Texas, Avedon traveled to the western United States for six years from 1979 in search of the subject he wanted to shoot, shooting 762 people in 16 states. Coal miners, construction workers, farmers, truckers, waitresses, students, housewives, and other ordinary people who are completely different from the gorgeous models and artists that Avedon has photographed. However, the human's "strength," "weakness," "love," and "dignity" are hidden in its expression and appearance. . . Billy Mudd, a truck driver who became one of the models in this book, first confirmed himself in his portrait that Avedon photographed, vowed to redeem his life, and left the driver and left. I went back to my family. Avedon's portrait, which sharply shows the inside of a human being even unaware of himself, possesses a sharpened sensitivity and gentle love. Published in 1985, Second Printing.
