Art in Motion
In these two photographs of model Veruschka, Avedon captures her in movement, apparently at the pinnacle of her expressive gesture. Each shows her filling the space, Veruschka's hands and feet at the very edges of the picture. Avedon uses this relationship of her body to the frame to activate the image, creating visual tension and heightening the impact of her buoyant jump and joyous leap by calling attention to the specific placement of her upraised face, pointed toes, or outstretched arms.
