or from his bio
As he experimented with different ways to convey a sense of power (or powerlessness) in his subjects, Avedon explored different ways to capture them on film. Early on, he airbrushed and retooled and cropped his photos to idealize his subjects and introduce an atmosphere of glamour and prestige. In the late 1960s, he shifted to photographing anti-war figures in a stark, minimalist style.

LOL so the air brush wasn't invented in 1950 yet? No one was air brushing in 1950 is that what you are saying? Cause that is CRAZY NUTS. That shot has been airbrushed. you go from a hardline to a soft line back to a hard line. So its either bleached or airbrushed SAME DIFF. All you have to do is compare difference edition and see that not one looks the same but only similar and it real obvious they are airbrushed.Hell here is on that is backwards. The backgrounds are obviously different as is the chest area. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls432v4O831qivmgqo1_1280.jpgOr this one that is closer that is still differentyou can speculate on what she means on the handwritten notes but when you have a note that says. I like this one better then the original. I;m going with airbrushed.On Wed, Nov 26, 2014 at 12:35 PM, Jan Faul <jan@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Too bad neither of you can converse with Dick Avedon. This is pretty much as shot, not shopped, although there may be some potassium ferricyanide work to lighten the background. Do either of you know who this model was? Probably not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marella_AgnelliI’ve seen this print, and well yes, it was shot in 1953, when Avedon was about 30, and Thomas Knoll had not yet been born. My favorite model from the 1930’s to 1950’s was Lisa Fonssagrives, who by coincidence was married to Irving Penn.On Nov 26, 2014, at 11:03 AM, Randy Little <randyslittle@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:that is some bazaar air brushing.

The head/shoulders are fine, the rest a mess. I could get a decent Picasso for that - I fact I just got a decent Vollard signed etching for MUCH less.
