Publisher's description
In the 1950s William Klein, one of the world's great photographers, focused on Rome, producing a celebrated book of photographs with texts by his friends Moravia, Fellini, and Pasolini. Now Klein has returned to Rome to tell—in his way—how the city has changed in the eyes of its inhabitants, whom he immortalizes in 25 diverse and emblematic groups.
William Klein has worked in fashion, photojournalism, and advertising. He has also directed films. Klein aims always to get at the heart of the matter, which characteristically for him is how to tell a story as concisely and fully as possible. He is the 2005 recipient of the Lucie Award for Lifetime Achievement.
About the Author
Born in New York in 1928, Klein is among the most important photographers of our time. He started his carreer with the publication of "Life is Good and Good for You in New York". This immensely important photographic study was to be followed by "Rome", "Moscow", "Tokyo", and "Paris + Klein". This resulting series of books inspired an aesthetic revolution. |
