What Becomes a Legend Most: A Biography of Richard Avedon by Philip Gefter

4.0

An in-depth biography of one of the best known photographer of the 20th Century. I had only two issues with the book: first the theory raised that Avedon and Mike Nichols had an affair spanning decades with no real proof of the relationship and the second was the in-depth description of his better known photos without the photo in the book. I kept my phone close so that I could look up the photo. I would have been happy to have only one section of personal photos and a second of the photos discussed in the book.
