In 1978 Richard Avedon (American 1923–2004) was commissioned by the Amon Carter Museum of American Art to create a portrait of the American West through its people. “In these sittings, he discovered people who conveyed through their faces, clothes, and postures not merely hard living but the full embrace of existence.” Ref: Carter Museum.
