Richard Avedon's turning point photobook "In the American West (Fair Copy)". At the request of the Amon Carter Museum in Texas, Avedon spent six years in 1979 traveling to the western United States in search of the subject he wanted to shoot, shooting a total of 762 people in 16 states. Miners, construction workers, farmers, truck drivers, waitresses, students, housewives, and other ordinary people who are completely different from the glamorous models and artists that Avedon has ever photographed. However, the "strength," "weakness," "love," and "dignity" of human beings hidden in their facial expressions and appearance. .. .. Billy Mudd, a truck driver who became one of the models in this book, first confirmed himself in his portrait taken by Avedon, vowed to start over, and left the driver. I went back to my family. Avedon's portrait, which sharply captures the inside of a human being who is not even aware of himself, has a sharpened sensibility and gentle love. (Spots on cover edges and page margins)
