In the foreword of the Avedon retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2002), Philippe de Montebello, former Met chief, evoked the photographer’s habit of admiring those ancient artworks , ‘in particular the Fayum portraits, painted panels dating from the first century A.D. that were inserted into mummy wrappings...In these ancient faces, he perhaps first recognized the mysterious power of the art of portraiture.’ #richardavedon #avedon #fashion #fashionphotography #fashionicon #fashionphotographer #designer #model #fashionblogger #museum #mode #museums #sculpture #portrait #portraits #modernphotography #irvingpenn #fashionportrait #nefertiti #archaeology #egyptianart #egypt #gagosian #MashFlash
