Philosopher and knowledge : A still-life study

A marble bust of a Greek ancient character, dignified and timeless,
casting a contemplative gaze downward at the meticulously
arranged books, held upright by an ornate bookend.

A very inspired and inspiring image, remarkably well lit right where it is needed : the face of the philosopher and the books where his gaze points.
The knowledge of photography did not exist in his time but his look at Avedon's book is like a premonition of the future emergence of this Art...
An exceptional and exemplary still-life study, Fong. VVV.

impeccable photography, and certainly a scene to reflect upon...If that is a book from Richard Avedon, one can see how you would study it as inspiration for your excellent portrait work..V
