FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description During the 1960s, Dennis Hopper carried a camera everywhere-on film sets and locations, at parties, in diners, bars and galleries, driving on freeways and walking on political marches. He photographed movie idols, pop stars, writers, artists, girlfriends, and complete strangers. Along the way he captured some of the most intriguing moments of his generation with a keen and intuitive eye. A reluctant icon at the epicenter of that decades cultural upheaval, Hopper documented the likes of Tina Turner in the studio, Andy Warhol at his first West Coast show, Paul Newman on set, and Martin Luther King during the Civil Rights March from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. From a selection of photographs compiled by Hopper and gallerist Tony Shafrazi, this extensive volume, finally back in print in a new edition, distills the essence of Hoppers prodigious photographic career. Also included are introductory essays by Shafrazi and legendary West Coast art pioneer Walter Hopps, as well as an extensive biography and new afterword by journalist Jessica Hundley. With excerpts from Victor Bockriss interviews of Hoppers famous subjects, friends, and family, this volume revives an unprecedented exploration of the life and mind of one of Americas most fascinating personalities. Notes The cult actors well-known practice throughout the 1960s of carrying a camera everywhere leads to the unique insight into the culture and history of that decade collected here, including Andy Warhol at his first West Coast show and Martin Luther King during the march from Selma.
