I had put up this and the following images by Richard Avedon January, 02.08 in the context of a series about old age and death. In the meanwhile Jim Colberg has found this images too. Miguel Garcia-Guzman has the story behind Richard Avedons portraits of his father. It is worthwhile reading.
Being old means to be one of the last survivors of a generation. Being old is to be confronted with the decay of your body. Being old is to know death is around.
Richard Avedon/ Jacob Israel Avedon, 1969.
