Podcasts about Richard Avedon

"The limitations of photography are in yourself, for what we see is only what we are." -- Ernst Haas   "A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed." -- Richard Avedon   In this episode, Ward opens with a deep dive into his Lightroom library, explaining how “hunting” for decisive moments differs from “fishing” for happy accidents—and proving the point with a newly-found two-way-mirror shot in Japan that almost became digital landfill. The chat drifts into portrait philosophy via Richard Avedon, landing on the idea that real power often comes from stripping a set-up down to tripod, subject, and nerve.   Next up is Fuji's just-announced X-Half.  Antonio admits he's already on the preorder list, while Ward likes the film-advance lever but winces at the price.  The boys agree its JPEG-only, half-frame design is less a beginner's toy than a deliberate hand-cuff for photographers who enjoy working inside tight creative fences—much like the old Fuji GA645 or Antonio's beloved X-Pro3 .   Antonio contemplates using his medium format Fuji for big-sensor portraits once he touches down in Nebraska, while Ward packs a Rolleicord TLR for some square-format rodeo portraits. On the lo-fi end, Antonio bolts a recycled disposable-camera lens onto his tiny X-M5, declaring that “expectations set to fun” is a perfectly valid image-quality setting for his upcoming road trip.   The episode rounds out with a vintage-photo detour: Antonio uncovers a century-old log-cabin print, and Ward feeds it to ChatGPT, which promptly pinpoints its location and time period. Maybe. That sparks a brainstorm on turning unlabeled family prints into a themed zine instead of consigning them to attic oblivion or the trash.     Subscribe to our Substack Newsletter Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

In fashion, there are stylists—and then there are image-makers. As the “C” in KCD and one of the first male editors to define women's fashion editorial, Paul Cavaco helped shape the modern visual vocabulary of the 1990s, styling everything from Harper's Bazaar under Liz Tilberis to Madonna's era-defining Sex book with Steven Meisel and Fabien Baron. Tonne Goodman, whose early days included modeling for Richard Avedon and assisting Diana Vreeland, brought that same instinct for clarity and cultural intuition to her longstanding role as the American fashion editor of Vogue. In a moment when the function—and future—of the fashion editor is being reexamined, hearing from two of its originals felt not only timely, but essential. Their conversation is a reminder that while fashion constantly reinvents itself, the value of vision and integrity never goes out of style. "I grew up in the Bronx. There was no fashion in my house. What we had was music, grit, and individuality." - Paul Cavaco  "Everything really does happen for a reason. Even the catastrophic moments usually lead to something better." - Tonne Goodman  Episode Highlights: The Bronx Meets the Upper East Side - Paul and Tonne reflect on their wildly different upbringings—his gritty childhood in the Bronx, hers in a cultured Manhattan household—and how those contrasting backgrounds shaped their approach to fashion and image-making. Modeling Missteps and Vreeland's Memo - Tonne shares how her short-lived modeling career ended with a memorable memo from Diana Vreeland describing her as “not pretty,” but still worth investing in—an early lesson in resilience and reinvention. From the Streets to the Studio - Paul shares how growing up in the Bronx and discovering style through music and street culture gave him a grounded, real-world approach to fashion—one rooted not in fantasy, but in everyday grit and individuality. The Madonna Sex Book and the Power of Play - Paul shares behind-the-scenes stories from the making of Madonna's Sex book, revealing how humor, trust, and improvisation drove one of pop culture's most provocative moments. Working Under Vreeland, Liz Tilberis, and Anna Wintour - Both editors reflect on their experiences working under three of fashion's most legendary editor-in-chiefs, and how those women shaped the way they understood vision, authority, and trust. Amber in Poughkeepsie - Tonne recounts a story of a shoot gone wrong—turned right—thanks to a vintage car parade and quick thinking. A reminder of how the best images often come from the unexpected. What a Fashion Editor Actually Does - They unpack the evolving role of the fashion editor—from doing everything themselves in the early days to navigating the micromanagement of today's content-saturated shoots. The Value of Niceness - In an industry known for egos and elitism, both credit their long-term success to gratitude, empathy, and kindness—and explain why being “nice” is often an underrated superpower. On Creative Longevity and Staying Awake - The key to keeping ideas fresh? Staying alive to the world. For Paul, it's about visual curiosity. For Tonne, it's emotional connection. For both, it's a refusal to become calcified. What's Contemporary Now - Tonne cites empathy and mutual care as the defining principles of the present, while Paul reflects on how enduring values—rather than trends—shape what really matters.

This week is the one and only original Supermodel, Janice Dickinson so hold on to your vintage Versace because we are taking you on a wild, unfiltered, and iconic ride with this legendary icon and and it's nothing short of fabulous chaos unleashed. From the second Janice struts into tour boutique, it's clear — this is not just any guest. She's the woman who *coined* the term “first supermodel,” and she's ready to tell it like it is. Get ready for an intimate, hilarious, and refreshingly honest conversation that spans decades of fashion, fame, and fierce moments. We deep dive into Janice's rise to superstardom — from discovering her destiny while flipping through fashion magazines on the floor of a Florida grocery store, to becoming the face that graced every iconic cover around the world. She spills on working with legends like Versace (yes, *Gianni*), Richard Avedon, and being part of the golden age of modeling when cameras had film and fashion had soul. But this isn't just about the glitz. Janice opens up about motherhood, being a glamorous grandma (yes, really!), and surviving breast cancer, pneumonia, and hepatitis C — all with raw vulnerability and her signature sass. Her love for her husband Rocky radiates as she shares what it means to find peace, healing, and joy after a lifetime in the spotlight. You'll also hear some juicy behind-the-scenes tea (while she's drinking her Armenian Coffee) on *America's Next Top Model*, her modeling agency reality show, and how Tyra Banks may have borrowed more than just her presence. Janice talks about reinventing herself as a singer (you'll be humming *“Get Me Out of This Dress”* all day), the tragedy of losing Gianni Versace, and the magic of working with the world's greatest designers — all while throwing in stories of fashion week, Botox threads, Studio 54, and Patrik's infamous BBL reveal. And if that wasn't enough? We get personal. From sex on golf courses to love at first sight in the Waldorf Towers, Patrik dishes on his own modeling days, and how we met, and the party scenes of New York in the ‘90s. Plus: coffee readings, Armenian coffee, and a surprise letter "G" that might just predict Janice's future. **Why You'll Love It:**   It's wild, it's real, it's Janice Dickinson like you've never heard her before — unfiltered, hilarious, and deeply heartfelt and reminds us why legends never fade and why being undressed — emotionally, spiritually, and unapologetically — is always in fashion. We get ✨ *Undressed: Where fashion meets truth, and no topic is too fabulous to unwrap.* This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

She walked for Paco Rabanne and jet-hopped from New York, London, Paris, and Rome. Mannequins were made in her likeness. Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Panorama, Queen, she was in them all.

Biba Giacchetti"L'arte della fotografia di moda: Giampaolo Barbieri"E' scomparso all‘età di 89 anni Gian Paolo Barbieri, una vera istituzione nell'ambito della fotografia di moda. I suoi ritratti iconici di dive di ieri e di oggi, come Audrey Hepburn e Monica Bellucci, e la sua lunga collaborazione con Vogue Italia, hanno reso il suo stile inconfondibile.Nato nel 1935 in via Mazzini, appena a fianco del Duomo di Milano, da una famiglia di grossisti di tessuti dove acquisì le prime competenze utili per la fotografia di moda, Barbieri mosse i suoi primi passi nell'ambito teatrale come attore, operatore e costumista, tanto che ebbe anche una piccola parte non parlata in Medea di Luchino Visconti. Fu il cinema a dargli quel senso del movimento che trasferì nella fotografia, prima applicata alla Dolce vita romana e poi alla moda, a Parigi.Nel 1964 il ritorno a Milano e l'apertura del primo studio fotografico: iniziò in quel momento quella sfolgorante e sessantennale carriera che lo portò a collaborare con personaggi di primo piano della moda come Diana Vreeland, Yves Saint Laurent e Richard Avedon, a ritrarre le attrici più iconiche di tutti i tempi, da Audrey Hepburn a Veruschka, da Monica Bellucci a Jerry Hall, a scattare le campagne pubblicitarie di marchi internazionali come Valentino, Gianni Versace, Gianfranco Ferré, Armani, Bulgari, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana, Vivienne Westwood.Classificato nel 1968 dalla rivista Stern come uno dei quattordici migliori fotografi di moda al mondo, nel 2018 Barbieri ha vinto il premio Lucie Award 2018 come Miglior Fotografo di Moda Internazionale. Le sue opere sono presenti in istituzioni culturali come il Victoria & Albert Museum e la National Portrait Gallery di Londra, il Kunsforum di Vienna, il MAMM di Mosca e il Musée du Quai Branly di Parigi.    Steve McCurry "Children"Dal 20 dicembre 2024 al 4 maggio 2025 le sale del Palazzo dei Priori di Fermo ospitano la mostra Steve McCurry - Children, ideata e curata da Biba Giacchetti. Oltre cinquanta fotografie dedicate all'infanzia vista attraverso l'obiettivo del grande fotografo Steve McCurry, realizzate nell'arco di quasi cinquant'anni di carriera.Una galleria di ritratti per esplorare tutte le sfaccettature dell'infanzia, accomunate da un elemento universale: lo sguardo dell'innocenza. Le immagini, provenienti da ogni angolo del mondo, ritraggono i più piccoli in scene di vita quotidiana. I bambini negli scatti di McCurry, pur diversi per etnia, abiti e tradizioni, condividono la gioia di vivere e la capacità di giocare anche nei contesti più difficili, spesso segnati da povertà, conflitti o condizioni ambientali estreme. Il pubblico sarà accompagnato in un viaggio ideale in paesi come India, Birmania, Pakistan, Tibet, Afghanistan, Libano, Etiopia e Cuba.“Ogni immagine offre uno spaccato delle condizioni sociali più disparate, rivelando una condizione umana universale fatta di sentimenti comuni e sguardi che affermano la stessa dignità”, spiega la curatrice.“Incontriamo bambini profughi e lavoratori, giovani che trasformano un cannone arrugginito in un gioco, che rincorrono un pallone sotto la pioggia, che creano musica con chitarre fatte di materiali di scarto. Bambini che vivono nelle grandi metropoli o nei villaggi più remoti, protagonisti di storie di gioia e aggregazione, solitudine e resilienza, solidarietà e stupore”.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

At 84 years old, Laura Wilson could run circles around most of us. She throws herself into her creative projects — which often take years to complete — with high energy and optimism. She moves quickly, never dallying when pursuing her creative work (a missed opportunity to photograph John Updike still stings). And her work reveals the humanity and stories behind individuals, communities, and events that we rarely see -- cockfighting, cowboys, drug smuggling searches, debutantes, world-famous authors, and reclusive religious groups. In our conversation, we talk about working with famed photographer Richard Avedon, the keys to her decades-long career, and her induction into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame (at age 79). TakeawaysHardwork and discipline are as essential to the creative process as creativity and imagination.To complete a project, you must have a laser-like focus and obsession.If you have a creative idea, don't dilly dally. You must move quickly and decisively or you may miss your opportunity.Pay attention and stay alert so you can capture creative moments. Resources Laura WilsonRichard AvedonThe Amon Carter Museum of ArtThe National Cowgirl Hall of FameEudora WeltyMeadows Museum Tim O'BrienTobias WolfCormac McCarthyTom StoppardCarlos Fuentes Marvin Israel

"Reality is the intuition and the imagination and the quiet voice inside my head that says: isn't that extraordinary?" -- Duane Michals "In my years of photography I have learned that many things can be sensed, seen, shaped or resolved in a realm of quiet…" -- Paul Caponigro   In this episode, Antonio and Ward delve into the transformative role of silence in photography, illustrating how it bolsters intuition and enables the creation of emotionally powerful images, as seen in iconic works like "Afghan Girl" and "Migrant Mother." They discuss "silent portraits" by photographers such as Bruce Gilden and Richard Avedon, highlighting the deep emotional connections forged in silence. The conversation also addresses the challenges posed by the digital era and social media, contrasting the reflective nature of traditional photography with the rapid consumption of images today. Concluding with personal reflections, they emphasize the importance of incorporating silence into daily life and creative processes, advocating for a deeper engagement with the world and one's work.   Subscribe to our Substack Newsletter Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

Oltre"Forte di BardMostra aperta fino al 3 marzo 2024www.fortedibard.ithttps://fondazionegianpaolobarbieri.it/it/“ È un nostro compito lasciare alle generazioni future qualcosa che possa essere utile loro nell'intraprendere questo mestiere, sempre più difficile e complesso.” – Gian Paolo Barbieri C'è un luogo in cui la percezione del tempo, dello spazio e della cultura hanno scelto di allinearsi; ed è proprio qui, nel Forte di Bard, dove la creatività di Gian Paolo Barbieri ha trovato manifesto attraverso un volto diverso, in grado di racchiudere tutte le sfaccettature che lo caratterizzano.Al maestro che ha segnato la storia della fotografia contemporanea di moda e costume, il Forte di Bard dedica una grande retrospettiva in collaborazione con la Fondazione Gian Paolo Barbieri di Milano, curata da Emmanuele Randazzo, Catia Zucchetti e Giulia Manca. Esposte 112 fotografie, di cui ben 88 inedite che spaziano dagli anni '60 agli anni 2000, frutto di un'approfondita ricerca condotta all'interno dell'archivio analogico dell'artista, patrimonio storico culturale, custodito dalla Fondazione Gian Paolo Barbieri.Gian Paolo Barbieri è stato uno dei massimi esponenti che ha contribuito alla definizione di prêt-à-porter italiano e di fotografia di moda. Dapprima nella moda, poi nella fotografia etnica ed erotica, il suo sguardo sul corpo ha indagato e osservato l'anima. Ha preso forma grazie alla fotografia di moda, ha scrutato, pervaso e ha reso universale il linguaggio dei suoi scatti.Gian Paolo Barbieri Oltre è un viaggio attraverso la vita del fotografo, un viaggio a tutto tondo che mostra un volto diverso da quello già conosciuto. Presta attenzione ai dettagli, a quell'immaginario più recondito che va oltre l'immagine, oltre la moda, oltre la natura. Va oltre tutto.Gian Paolo Barbieri nasce a Milano nel 1935, in una famiglia di grossisti di tessuti, dove acquisisce le prime competenze necessarie per formarsi come fotografo di moda. Muove i primi passi nell'ambito teatrale come attore e scenografo, prima di trasferirsi a Parigi nel 1960, dove diventa assistente del celebre fotografo di Harper's Bazaar, Tom Kublin. Nel 1962 apre il suo primo studio a Milano e incomincia a lavorare nel campo della moda, scattando semplici campionari e pubblicando servizi fotografici su Novità, la rivista che in seguito diventerà Vogue Italia.Negli anni successivi collaborerà con testate internazionali come Vogue America, Vogue Paris, Vanity Fair e GQ, fotografando personaggi del calibro di Diana Vreeland, Richard Avedon, Audrey Hepburn, Yves Saint Laurent, e le super model come Jerry Hall, Veruschka, Naomi Campbell e Eva Herzigová. Le sue campagne commerciali danno risalto alla moda degli anni '60, ‘70 e ‘80 dei marchi più famosi: Walter Albini, Valentino, Giorgio Armani, Gianni Versace, Gianfranco Ferré e Vivienne Westwood.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.it

Derek Blasberg, a dynamic force in the worlds of fashion and media, boasts a multifaceted career as a writer, editor, and a New York Times bestselling author. Previously YouTube's head of fashion and beauty and director of public figures, Blasberg transformed the platform, earning praise from industry luminaries like Tom Ford. His influence extends to the Gagosian Gallery, where he spearheaded the relaunch of Gagosian Quarterly and collaborated with renowned image makers, especially in celebrating the life and work of legendary American photographer Richard Avedon. After his 2023 Gagosian landmark exhibition Avedon 100 in New York, Blasberg follows with the launch of Iconic Avedon: A Centennial Celebration of Richard Avedon in Paris on January 22, 2024. A graduate of NYU with degrees in dramatic literature and journalism, Blasberg comments on his journey from Vogue assistant to front-row favorite, underlining his extroversion, passion for the fashion industry, and the importance of never saying no—and that's what's contemporary. Episode Highlights: Sweet nostalgia: Blasberg remembers his upbringing in St. Louis, Missouri, as typical and all-American, but not one that facilitated a knowledge of fashion from the get-go. Surrounded by manuscripts: With a mother who was the managing editor of a medical journal, Blasberg had his first connection to documents and texts through medicine and later as a prolific note-passer at school.  Contrasts: “I had a fundamental lack of understanding or loose grasp of the fashion industry, as I now know it today,” Blasberg says. Beginnings: Being predigital but a natural extrovert, Blasberg found an agency and advocated for himself, with his first foray into the fashion world writing biographies for models, later working for Vogue and W magazines.  Hired and fired from Vogue: Blasberg calls it an educational process and experience, even though managing and assisting “was probably not the best fit for me.” The evolving role of the journalist: Though the traditional writer role doesn't exist in the same form it did two decades ago, Blasberg sees the ability to express oneself in written language as more important than ever.  Do readers exist?: Regardless of form, people may not be reading but are still consuming content and “still curious what people have to say and what they have to write,” Blasberg notes. Bazaar Models: Blasberg's books explore successful models and muses in a form that fuses literature, journalism, and sheer curiosity about the lives of talents. Man About Town: Blasberg has a unique freedom and independence in navigating the fashion industry, which he sees as a result of open-minded optimism.  Perspective as a “trader in culture”: Blasberg notes that live streams, online and resale marketplaces, and influencer culture are ways in which the fashion industry, in particular, has changed over the course of just the last few years.  Full-circle moment: A career highlight is the Paris centennial celebration of Richard Avedon, Blasberg's childhood hero.  Driven by passion: Inspired by icons like Richard Avedon and Marilyn Monroe, Blasberg's work at the Gagosian Gallery is unique in its capability to portray other elements of culture and history, such as the Civil Rights Movement. His enthusiasm for the subject matter shines through.  What's contemporary now: For Blasberg, it's never saying ‘no.'

So many of the podcasts that I do deal with Western art, but rarely do I have an artist that epitomizes what it means to be a "Western artist" the way that Teal Blake does.  Teal was raised in Montana and he's been in the West his whole life and currently lives in Texas. Not only does he have the credentials of being a Western individual, but he was a professional cowboy for seven years as part of the rodeo circuit. To take that life experience and translate it into how he paints and sees the world, provides an authenticity that you rarely see in the average Western artist. Teal has said authenticity in spades. He also has a father who is a very interesting guy, Buckeye Blake,  a well-known artist who does, not only illustrative type art but sculptural works that live in front of some major museums. His mother is very artistic in her own right and was friends with Richard Avedon, who was such an important photographer.So a unique story, no doubt, and one that I think you'll find very, very compelling. I know I did. Art Dealer Diaries Podcast number 261 with Teal Blake.

Hairstylist Garren transformed models into supermodels (Linda Evangelista, Karlie Kloss), helped celebrities like Victoria Beckham and Madonna create their looks, and co-founded the hair line R+Co during his long and legendary career. In this interview, he tells us everything: the guidance counselor who told him he wasn't allowed to do hair; the photographers he collaborated with (Irving Penn! Richard Avedon!); and all the things he's learned about people—and their hair—along the way. This interview originally aired in 2019, but we're presenting it with a new intro.

“Why I was different from all the other boys in my town I cannot tell you. I was simply born with the gift of vision.” – ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGERIs there any better example of the American Dream than Arnold Schwarzenegger? What does it take to make your vision a reality? How do you cultivate iron focus to overcome any obstacle and realize your dreams?On the publication of Arnold Schwarzenegger's limited edition two-volume book published by TASCHEN, we sat down with Senior Editor and Writer Dian Hansen to discuss Schwarzenegger's life, accomplishments, and history of unforgettable performances. The book has been a decade-long collaborative process and along with portraits by leading photographers Richard Avedon, Annie Leibovitz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Herb Ritts, Francesco Scavullo, and Andy Warhol, it is also filled with photos from Arnold's private archive and exclusive interviews. Dian's other works include The Art of Pin-up, Masterpieces of Fantasy Art, and The Fantastic Worlds of Frank Frazetta."As Arnold Schwarzenegger says, 'We don't have Republican air. We don't have Democrat water. We all breathe the same air. We all have the same water. It's happening to all of us, and it's happening all over the world. And if we just continue to ignore it so that we can put some money in our pockets, or we can get reelected, what are we leaving for the future?' And you know, his devotion to children and to helping children makes him look at it from a different perspective. He's not one of these heartless old politicians who's just like, well, as long as it doesn't happen while I'm alive, I'm going to get rich off of this. He is always thinking of the next generations.

"It's not just that he grew up in a rural environment too. He was born on July 30th, 1947. And most of us today don't have any understanding or relationship to what Europe was like right after World War II. The winter of 1946/1947 in Austria was the most brutal in decades. The people already had too little food. They were in an occupied country.The summer potato crops failed. As Arnold has said, his mother had to go from farm to farm to farm, begging for food to be able to feed her children. His father, like all the men in the village, was defeated by the war. I mean, they were not just defeated by their side losing, but realizing what their side had stood for, that they were the bad guys.And he saw them all physically, emotionally, intellectually defeated and taking it out on their wives and children, that he was beaten and his mother was beaten. All the neighbor kids were beaten, and they were beaten into a kind of placid defeat. And he alone would not accept that. He could not see that life for himself.And he was, as a child, searching for ways to get out of that. And bodybuilding became that when he learned about bodybuilding as a very poor boy. They lived on the top floor of a house. They had no plumbing. They all bathed once a week in the same tub in the kitchen. And his brother and he had to bring the water in. His mother heated it, and they took baths one by one. Mother first, father second, older brother third, Arnold last in the tub of dirty water. And so he wanted out of that. And as a poor boy, he had nothing but his body to work with. That was it. There was not going to be any college. There was not going to be any of that. There was going to be some kind of menial job, or he could use what he had - his body - to get him out of there."“Why I was different from all the other boys in my town I cannot tell you.

He can tell a story like no one else, and not just tell it, he would act it out. He would get up and stomp around and make noises with his mouth. He told me a simple story about a woman in the gym who was not working out, who was just sitting on a bench and talking on the phone to her friend and eating a bag of potato chips. And he was able to replicate the sound of eating potato chips just with his mouth. He is underappreciated. I guess that's what it is. And as I started going through his archive, I saw that there are certain photographs that show him and his facial expressions like none other. And those photographs are always when he is interacting with children or interacting with animals and all pretense drops away. His face just lights up. It is real, it is genuine, it is open. And that's something that I tried to include as much as possible, particularly in the small book that is more personal, to show that human, affectionate, warm side of Arnold."www.taschen.com/en/limited-editions/film/03105/arnold-collector-s-editionwww.schwarzenegger.comwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcastImages courtesy of Taschen.

"The really important thing that he did here had to do with climate change. He told me that he had always been interested in the environment. He grew up being very cautious about everything. You don't waste water, you don't waste power, all these things as a poor child. But he said he didn't really understand what pollution was doing until he became governor. And he got all the memos, he got all the information that is fed to politicians, that is fed to every politician. That everyone in office knows about, and many choose to ignore, but for him, it really opened his eyes. And he said, 'We can't let this go on.' So he initiated a greenhouse gas cap in California, and people fought against it. Are you kidding? It has continued to this day. People have gotten behind him for it, that we will reduce emissions, and we will have cleaner air in California, and we will have cleaner water, and we will have cleaner beaches.He blocked offshore drilling and he said, because when he first came here, there had been an oil spill, and he went on the beach, and he got tar on his feet. No one should have to have tar on their feet when they go to the beach. And that was his real contribution that has now led to his activism for climate change and ending pollution all over the world."“Why I was different from all the other boys in my town I cannot tell you.

I was simply born with the gift of vision.” – ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGERIs there any better example of the American Dream than Arnold Schwarzenegger? What does it take to make your vision a reality? How do you cultivate iron focus to overcome any obstacle and realize your dreams?On the publication of Arnold Schwarzenegger's limited edition two-volume book published by TASCHEN, we sat down with Senior Editor and Writer Dian Hansen to discuss Schwarzenegger's life, accomplishments, and history of unforgettable performances. The book has been a decade-long collaborative process and along with portraits by leading photographers Richard Avedon, Annie Leibovitz, Robert Mapplethorpe, Herb Ritts, Francesco Scavullo, and Andy Warhol, it is also filled with photos from Arnold's private archive and exclusive interviews. Dian's other works include The Art of Pin-up, Masterpieces of Fantasy Art, and The Fantastic Worlds of Frank Frazetta."The really important thing that he did here had to do with climate change. He told me that he had always been interested in the environment. He grew up being very cautious about everything. You don't waste water, you don't waste power, all these things as a poor child. But he said he didn't really understand what pollution was doing until he became governor. And he got all the memos, he got all the information that is fed to politicians, that is fed to every politician. That everyone in office knows about, and many choose to ignore, but for him, it really opened his eyes. And he said, 'We can't let this go on.' So he initiated a greenhouse gas cap in California, and people fought against it. Are you kidding? It has continued to this day. People have gotten behind him for it, that we will reduce emissions, and we will have cleaner air in California, and we will have cleaner water, and we will have cleaner beaches.He blocked offshore drilling and he said, because when he first came here, there had been an oil spill, and he went on the beach, and he got tar on his feet. No one should have to have tar on their feet when they go to the beach. And that was his real contribution that has now led to his activism for climate change and ending pollution all over the world."www.taschen.com/en/limited-editions/film/03105/arnold-collector-s-editionwww.schwarzenegger.comwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcastImages courtesy of Taschen.

He was born on July 30th, 1947. And most of us today don't have any understanding or relationship to what Europe was like right after World War II. The winter of 1946/1947 in Austria was the most brutal in decades. The people already had too little food. They were in an occupied country.The summer potato crops failed. As Arnold has said, his mother had to go from farm to farm to farm, begging for food to be able to feed her children. His father, like all the men in the village, was defeated by the war. I mean, they were not just defeated by their side losing, but realizing what their side had stood for, that they were the bad guys.And he saw them all physically, emotionally, intellectually defeated and taking it out on their wives and children, that he was beaten and his mother was beaten. All the neighbor kids were beaten, and they were beaten into a kind of placid defeat. And he alone would not accept that. He could not see that life for himself.And he was, as a child, searching for ways to get out of that. And bodybuilding became that when he learned about bodybuilding as a very poor boy. They lived on the top floor of a house. They had no plumbing. They all bathed once a week in the same tub in the kitchen. And his brother and he had to bring the water in. His mother heated it, and they took baths one by one. Mother first, father second, older brother third, Arnold last in the tub of dirty water. And so he wanted out of that. And as a poor boy, he had nothing but his body to work with. That was it. There was not going to be any college. There was not going to be any of that. There was going to be some kind of menial job, or he could use what he had - his body - to get him out of there."www.taschen.com/en/limited-editions/film/03105/arnold-collector-s-editionwww.schwarzenegger.comwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcastImage courtesy of Taschen.

Benedikt started his business when he was 18 years old and opened a comic book store. He had been buying and selling trading comic books since the age of 15. He made the money himself to open a comic book store and then went into publishing right after that. And I said, 'Benedikt, when did you have time to go to college?' And he said, 'There was no time. I did not go.' And so people are tempted to call people like Benedikt, to call people like Arnold, to call people like me, self-made. But we are obviously not self-made. We are determined, and we use our determination to bring other people into our dream and our motivation to accomplish what we want. And so Taschen sees in Arnold himself and his own determination he sees in me, himself, and his determination. And so we all come together in that, you know, let's celebrate somebody that most people would not imagine was an art book subject. This has been Taschen all along. Oh, they make sex books. You know, that's not art. Well, Benedikt Taschen said to me at the time when he hired me, and he was trying to hire me since 1994, I said, 'Well, you know, I made porn magazines. Am I going to have to change everything I do to make art books?' And he said, no.He said, 'I'm hiring you because I like what you do. We make good books. We put good art in our books. We put good sex material in our books. We do not put bad art in our books. We do not put bad sex material in our books. We do it good, and then it's art. And that is what we have done all along.'
