Jacob Israel Avedon, father of Richard,

Sarasota, Florida, 25 August 1973.

 

The good, the bad and the beautiful:

how the great photographer Richard Avedon captured ageing

From a joyful Gloria Swanson to the Windsors looking scared,

Avedon spent much of his career shooting the old, the wizened and the wise

– uncovering the contradictions of the heart
