Summary:
Photographs taken by
Dennis
Hopper
that brilliantly document the social, political, and creative highlights from a tumultuous era. Lying hidden away in
Dennis
Hopper
's home until their discovery months after the artist's death in 2010, this collection of spectacular photographs, exhibited in 1969-70 at the Fort Worth Art Center Museum, is a testament to
Hopper
's prolific talent behind the camera. These photographs are spontaneous, intimate, poetic, observant, and decidedly political. While some are portraits of figures within
Hopper
's circle of actor, artist, musician, and poet friends--including Jane Fonda, Paul Newman, and Robert Rauschenberg--they also include images from his extensive travels in Los Angeles, New York, London, and Mexico.
Hopper
's abiding support of the Civil Rights movement and social justice is evident in his shots from the march on Selma and Harlem street scenes. In images of beauty and stillness he transfers Abstract Expressionism into the artistic language of photography. Throughout this volume
Hopper
's sensitive, keenly observant eye shines through, making it clear that he was a deeply committed chronicler of the events that were unfolding around him.
Dennis
Hopper
(1936 – 2010) was an American actor, filmmaker, photographer, and artist. He attended the Actors Studio, making his first television appearance in 1954.
Hopper
also began a prolific and acclaimed photography career in the 1960s. In 1969
Hopper
directed and starred in Easy Rider. He played a photojournalist in Apocalypse Now (1979).
