, Not rated. Narrated by Kathryn Walker. Special feature: Weblinks. | For over half a century, photographs by Richard Avedon have filled the pages of countless magazines and been displayed in the world's finest galleries and museums. Avedon changed the course of fashion photography in the 1940's and '50s with his seminal spreads for Harper's Bazaar. Simultaneously, he was reinventing the sometimes-staid genre of photographic portraiture, capturing vivid images of both celebrities and the non-famous that revealed the essence of his subjects. Featuring a wealth of rare visual material ranging from personal photographs to never-before-seen prints, this documentary also includes exclusive interviews with actor and director Andre Gregory, director Mike Nichols, fashion editor Polly Allen Mellen, editor Tina Brown and Avedon himself.

Special feature: Weblinks. | "No living artist has changed our perception of art as much as American painter Robert Rauschenberg. Beginning in the 1950s, Rauschenberg turned away from convential paint on canvas and started to create multimedia "combines" that both revolutionized and inspired the art community. In the years that have followed, his work has continued to bring a sense of challenge and excitement to the medium"--Container. " ... This compelling film offers a rich mixture of visual images and engaging commentary that eloquently reveal the man behind the ingenuity"--Container.
