In the Light of Other Days: The Cold War Portraiture of Richard Avedon and Irving Penn

Colin Westerbeck, director of the California Museum of Photography at the University of California, Riverside presents a lecture in which he discusses how the portraiture of Penn and Avedon, dialectically different as it is, right down to the lighting, is, nevertheless, a shared reflection of the times in which they were working. Presented as a part of the symposium "Yousuf Karsh and the Art of Photographic Portraiture." This podcast is brought to you by the Ancient Art Podcast. Explore more at ancientartpodcast.org.
