Download or read book William Coupon Portraits written by Walter Isaacson and published by Damiani Limited. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long overdue monograph presents a panorama of portraits from the photographer William Coupon. Coupon was given wide access to artists, musicians, politicians, authors, and the world's indigenous people on assignment from major publications like Time , Rolling Stone , The New York Times , Esquire , and The Washington Post . He photographed his subjects against a mottled backdrop of hand-painted Belgian linen, often in a classically lit medium shot format, inspired by Dutch masters such as Rembrandt and Holbein. Coupon has remained true to this method, whether working in the Oval Office in Washington D. C. or a tribal hut amongst the Pygmy in the Central African Republic, or the Caraja in the Brazilian Amazon. Environmental images compliment the more formal portraits. Portraits includes iconic images of Mick Jagger, Miles Davis, Elie Wiesel, David Byrne, Presidents Nixon, Carter, Bush, Trump, George Steinbrenner, Jean Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, and Prince Philip among many others from Haiti, Panama, Holland, Northern Scandinavia, Australia, Malaysia, Turkey, Italy, Peru, Mexico and other places. Coupon has created a collection that documents his times but also captured his generation in all its vibrancy. In his work, he seeks to present a truly egalitarian portrait of humanity integrating common people with the wealthy, powerful, and famous.
Download or read book The Hereditary Estate written by Daniel W. Coburn and published by Kehrer Verlag. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hereditary Estate functions as a ten-year retrospective and as a conceptual work of art in its own right. Coburn's work investigates the medium of the family photo album. Frustrated by the lack of images that document the true and sometimes troubling nature of his own familial history, the photographer set out to create a new archive, a potent reminder of the falsity of most family photo albums. Using photographs taken over the last decade and altered Coburn creates a family narrative that is simultaneously beautiful and terrifying.

Download or read book We Are Santa written by Ron Cooper and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2020-09-11 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who doesn't love Santa Claus? From award-winning photographer Ron Cooper comes a beautifully curated collection of fifty professional Santas from across the country. We Are Santa is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of those who slip into the red suit to spread Christmas cheer. Before and after portraits, behind-the-scenes stories of custom made costumes and specialized training, and surprising anecdotes of on-the-job encounters bring these Santas to life. Just as Humans of New York captures the lives of everyday people, We Are Santa celebrates the humanity of everyday Santas. From a third-generation Kris Kringle to an Orthodox Jew who has been playing Santa for fifty years, Cooper's portraits are a testament to the holiday spirit. When Santa Mike, a Navy veteran and aircraft mechanic, meets a six-year-old girl with a prosthetic hand just like his own, he says, "Her eyes got big, and she threw her arms around my neck. It was the highlight of my season. That's why I’m Santa."

Download or read book Patti Smith written by and published by Insight Editions. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning collection of photographs from Frank Stefanko featuring the Godmother of Punk herself, iconic musician and author Patti Smith. "There I was sitting in a booth at the co-op of Glassboro State College, a bucolic school in the farmlands of South Jersey. . . Suddenly, the double doors of the co-op swung open and standing there in the vacuum created was an incredible apparition, a vision in a white leather coat with long, jet-black hair flowing down her back. She moseyed in like the bad guy walking into a saloon in an old western movie. This was the first time I set eyes on Patti Smith, and I was captivated.” So begins Frank Stefanko’s wonderfully personal photographic tale of his friendship and artistic collaboration with Patti Smith. Stefanko’s photographs and his warm, personal recollections show us an amazing young woman, long before she became Patti Smith, the cultural icon. Through images and words, we follow her search for a unique voice—from the early days of the Chelsea Hotel to spoken word at the St. Mark’s Poetry Project to the release of her seminal album, Horses, and so much more. These photographs, along with the Stefanko’s first-hand account, capture an incredible era from the mid-1960s to the late- 1970s when a whole new genre of music and art was being born. Prior to the release of this collection, many of these stunning portraits had never before been published. They appear here in high-quality quadratone reproduction, highlighting Stefanko’s artistry and his uncanny ability to capture his subject’s inner spirit. Memorabilia from Smith’s personal collection adds to this rare and intimate look at the emergence of one of America’s most respected artists. With an opening poem from Patti Smith that sets an evocative mood, an introduction by Lenny Kaye, Smith’s longtime guitarist, and a compelling afterword by editor Chris Murray, this book sets the reader on a journey from small-town New Jersey and highlights the enigmatic artist’s triumphant career.

Download or read book Daniel Kramer Bob Dylan a Year and a Day written by and published by Taschen. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'ormai classico portfolio di Daniel Kramer su Bob Dylan documenta l'anno della svolta epocale dell'artista, avvenuta tra il 1964 e il 1965. Per un anno e un giorno, Kramer ha avuto lo straordinario privilegio di immortalare Bob Dylan in tour, sul palco e nel backstage, creando così uno dei portfolio fotografici più affascinanti che siano mai stati realizzati su un musicista, nonché una testimonianza straordinaria dell'incredibile ascesa al successo di Dylan. Alcuni dei momenti salienti comprendono il concerto con Joan Baez alla Philharmonic Hall del Lincoln Center, le sedute di registrazione di Bringing It All Back Home e l'ormai leggendario concerto a Forest Hills, dove il controverso passaggio di Dylan alla chitarra elettrica ne simboleggiò la costante ed enigmatica necessità di evolvere. Testimonianza di un periodo fondamentale tanto nella storia del rock quanto in quella di Dylan, queste fotografie ritraggono anche amici e collaboratori dell'artista di tutto rispetto come Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, Allen Ginsberg e Albert Grossman. Bob Dylan: A Year and a Day presenta un'accurata selezione di quasi 200 immagini, tra cui alcuni scatti scartati per le copertine degli album Bringing It All Back Home e Highway 61 Revisited. Già pubblicata da TASCHEN in un'edizione da collezione autografata, questa edizione economica è una manna per ogni fan della fotografia o di Dylan che si rispetti! Corredato di numerosi aneddoti personali di Kramer, il volume costituisce una testimonianza al contempo intima e suggestiva di un fotografo fondamentale, un periodo storico particolare e un artista misterioso ed eccezionale all'apice del successo planetario.
