Richard Avedon: Among Creatives, currently showing in the Norton Photography Gallery at Phoenix Art Musem, featuring more than 50 works from the collection of the Center for Creative Photography (CCP), Richard Avedon: Among Creatives presents the work of legendary American photographer Richard Avedon (1923-2004), highlighting his distinctive photographic portraits of fellow artists, actors, writers, and more, in addition to his contributions to fashion photography.. At this event, you'll have the opportunity to meet and hear perspectives about the exhibition from Emilia Mickevicius, the Norton Family Assistant Curator of Photography, a curatorial position shared by Phoenix Art Museum and the Center for Creative Photography. This event is free and open to 40 attendees with registration here on Eventbrite. Membership is not required. Admission to Phoenix Art Museum is pay-what-you-wish on Wednesday evenings; please enter and proceed upstairs to the third floor to meet at the entrance to the Norton Photography Gallery. ------- Norton Photography Gallery View © Phoenix Art Museum About the Artist Born in New York and with an early interest in photography, Avedon first gained prominence as a fashion photographer by working for Harper’s Bazaar magazine. As the scope of his career broadened, he trained his lens on many of the most influential figures of his time, among them fellow creative people from the fields of art, music, literature, film, and design. Through Avedon’s unflinching eye and technical prowess, their appearances and expressions become amplified for our scrutiny, prompting us to consider the gaps between their private lives and public personas.

love is blue

The Phoenix Art Museum is great, I don&#39;t know if its art collection is comparable to museums in bigger cities, but the art is beautiful, there are great traveling exhibits, there is a shop, and the building itself is beautiful, I love the glass lights at the entrance.

Papago Park

It was a really big park. I went from the southern end along the canal trail to the north end and stopped at the rocky cave, which took about an hour. It was a great place to relax, exercise and picnic. I loved the change between the green spaces around the lake and the arid areas filled with cactus. And was stunned by the bird life around. It is really hot so apply sunscreen and bring enough water.

Desert Botanical Garden

Hello! Happy Time

The trees are beautiful and unusual. The cactus is very big and taller than many people. You must come and visit. It is beautiful and has a desert-style atmosphere.

non.of.yours

Phoenix Zoo is located in Tempe Arizona and it is by far one of the best zoos I have been to. There are many attractions to the zoo like the wildlife. Phoenix Zoo has places like sea life walk where you can go see the sea life. The have a trail called Desert trail where you can see all the desert animals. they also have an area where you can see all the flowers in Arizona. they have a kid&#39;s land for just the kids they have a water park for the kids the animals that you see are mainly ones that you would see in a safari because it is a desert. Arizona You Don&#39;t See Much of like polar bears. it&#39;s a great little Zoo it&#39;s not too big not too little and I highly suggest if you&#39;re going to go to the Phoenix Zoo do not go in the summer I would plan to come in the winter where is more nice not so hot and you&#39;ll see a lot more animals than if you were to come in the summer it is 120&deg; here in Arizona during the summer and in the winter it gets up to about 70&deg; during the day so be a perfect time to come in the Winter.
