Hiro's distinguished career as an exquisite fashion, still-life, and portrait photographer began nearly forty years ago in New York at 'Harper's Bazaar.' He is one of the most influential figures in postwar American photography, greatly admired by other photographers and art directors, yet little know by the public.
Richard Avedon has edited from the entire range of Hiro's work, selecting only those pictures which are quite unlike anything from another photographer in this remarkable tribute to a remarkable man.
