Academy Award®-winning director Ron Howard traces the life and legacy of an artist who used photography to reinvent the world around him. From world leaders to pop culture icons and international supermodels, Richard Avedon's influence is the blueprint for our image-driven world. His photographs didn't just reflect culture, they shaped it. Drawing on unprecedented access to his personal archives—never-before-seen stills, intimate behind-the-lens footage, and new interviews with his closest collaborators—AVEDON explores how his singular eye both reflected and reshaped the visual language of the 20th century, and why even the most iconic image is only half the story. A Netflix release.
