Richard Avedon: In the American West [Eng-Esp]

@avdesing: When I began looking at the exhibition and the images it presented, I had the same thought: there’s a lack of context; they’re all against white backgrounds. In several of his photographs, I seem to see models striking poses, as if he wanted ordinary people, not models, with their jobs and their lives to pose in order to show precisely that. If I analyse it a little further, I realise that for the artist, the background and context aren’t important, perhaps because the focus of the photograph is on the people themselves, as if, through those gazes and poses, one could enter each of their souls and look into them. They are people who are suffering, weary, with faces full of sorrow; they all look more or less the same, one even has her arms crossed as if to bar the way, creating a sense of distance. Ultimately, it provokes a sense of rejection at first, but if we look at where the intention lies, we can discover so much more. Thank you very much for bringing this exhibition to us; it really makes one think. A big hug!🤗 Cuando comencé a ver la exposición y las imágenes que nos tres, pensé en lo mismo, falta contexto, todos son fondos blancos. En varias de sus fotografías me parece ver poses de modelos, como si quisiera que gente común, que no es modelo, con sus profesiones y sus vidas posara para mostrar precisamente eso. Si analizo un poco más veo que para el artista el fondo, el contexto no es importante y quizás sea porque el foto está puesto en las personas, como si con esas miradas y poses se pudiera entrar a cada una de las almas y mirarlas. Son personas que sufren, cansadas, con rostros de pena, todas son más o menos parecidas, incluso una cruza los brazos en señal de no permitir el paso, crear alejamiento. En definitiva causa rechazo al comienzo, pero si miramos donde esta puesta la intensión podemos hallar mucho más. Muchas gracias por traernos esta exposición, hace reflexionar. Un gran abrazo!🤗 I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project! Check out our Reading Suggestions posts! Please consider voting for our Liotes HIVE Witness. Thank you!

@cositav: Some of the images are very disturbing 🥴 But definitely very interesting to see !LADY !PIMP !PAKX

@angeluxx: Hmm, I don't know if they're cute or strange, I just know it's great to see things that are hard to find in other posts. You bring unique and very strange images; art and photography seem to reflect everything. !LADY

@nanixxx: Hello... I haven’t read the text, but all those people have their own very particular way of looking at us. That’s what I feel at first glance as I scroll through here. Sorry, I’m only just about to read it now... or perhaps later. 😄 Hay que preparar las cosas para el viaje.

@felixmarranz: I’m not sure whether the photographer is mocking his subjects or if he intends to mock the viewer. Setting aside technical and aesthetic considerations, most of the people struck me as unpleasant or surly. Perhaps that is what he aimed to capture. On the other hand, your work documenting the exhibition strikes me as very thorough and well researched. No sé si el fotógrafo se burla de sus modelos o pretende hacerlo del espectador. Apartando consideraciones técnicas y estéticas, la mayoría de las personas me parecieron molestas o mal encaradas. Quizás eso es lo que pretendía capturar. Por el contrario, tu trabajo documentando la muestra me parece muy completo y documentado. Buenas noches, @enraizar

@sacra97: De verdad una propuesta muy impresionante, personas que nadie se detendría a fotografiar y sin embargo las convierte en modelos con sus aparente mal encarados rostros, son simplemente naturales. Tal vez una persona normal les echaría un vistazo y pasaría de largo, no este artista, que ve algo más que traer al mundo, algo normal y diferente al mismo tiempo. Muy completo tu aporte trayendo varias ideas sobre la vida de estas personas y lo que el artista trato de explicar. "...Esos rostros, esa miradas se convierten en símbolos a descifrar". "... La vida que esculpió esas miradas. La vida misma, la dureza de cada día. Me ha encantado, unas más que otras se vuelven llamativas y verdaderamente quisiéramos descifrar que pensaban en ese momento. Un aplauso y un abrazo por tu aporte, limpio e impecable, siempre destacando que no lo sabemos todo. . 📷 ⚡☕. Truly an impressive concept: the artist takes people whom no one would ever stop to photograph and transforms them into models—despite their seemingly stern or grim expressions—capturing them in a way that is entirely natural. An ordinary passerby might glance at them and keep walking, but not this artist; he sees something more to share with the world—something both ordinary and, at the same time, unique. Your contribution is very thorough, offering various insights into the lives of these individuals and what the artist sought to convey. "...Those faces, those gazes, become symbols waiting to be deciphered." "...The life that carved those expressions." Life itself—the harshness of the everyday. I absolutely loved it; some of these images are particularly striking, and one truly longs to decipher what these people were thinking at that very moment. A round of applause—and a warm embrace—for your contribution; it is clean, impeccable, and serves as a great reminder that there is always more to learn. Hug !PAKX !ALIVE !BBH !PIZZA !LADY !LUV

@ph1102: Well, that was weird... 😃 After your first sentences, I had to agree with your objection... Also, I tried to find some of the portraits that would bring a "positive" emotion in me, but I failed to do so... As a matter of fact, it got even worse toward the end... lol... But I suppose the author accomplished what he wanted... He got an "emotion" from viewers, and that is the purpose of art... "Mocking them"... okay... Are they really "moving the world"? Probably, by doing some ordinary jobs... or something that others don't want to do... But still, they look terrifying... probably because they look like they have a lack of emotions or feelings... and that's probably the worst possible thing that an empath can see... 😃 Thanks for sharing... I will have bad dreams tonight because of this... 😂 (just kidding)

@miprimerconcurso: Hello, Mr. @enraizar, good day. To be honest, I didn’t quite grasp what the artist is trying to express with this photography exhibition. Some of the shots I found quite unpleasant. I appreciate you sharing this photography exhibition.
