Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Muy bueno. 1ª Edición. Avedon, Richard (1923-2004) y Baldwin, James (1924-1987). "Nada personal". Con 54 fotografías de Richard Avedon y texto de James Baldwin. Nueva York, un libro de Dell, 1964. 94 páginas. Encuadernación rústica. Primera Edición. El tiempo, la vejez y sus tensiones, resultan ser el motivo fundamental en la obra de Avedon. Vemos en su arte cómo nos habla directamente del paso del tiempo y su influencia en el ser humano, y, cómo no, del camino hacia la muerte. Son esos retratos descontextualizados que aparecen ante la cámara sin maquillaje, fatigados o tristes, tal y como se encuentran en ese momento, los que claramente denotan esta inquietud. Su método era sencillo pero efectivo, la derrota anímica del contrario fotografiado a través de largas y cansadas sesiones de hasta cuatro horas. Así el retratado, desnudo e indefenso era capaz de mostrar su personalidad más sincera. (código 4231).
