William Klein: Paris + Klein - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

As a kid, William Klein dreamt of living in Paris like Man Ray, Henry Miller, Gertrude Stein and other American refugees. In 1948, demobilised there by the U.S. Army, he decided to stay - to get away from his family in New York and become a painter. In a short time he found a new family, recognition for his talent and Jeanne, his partner up to today. Paris+Klein combines both black-and-white and color photographs, dating from the first, taken by him in the sixties, to those shot only a few days before the printing of the first French edition in March 2002: the streets, politics, the anonymous and the famous, fashion, festivities, sports, death. Witness the day-to-day life of the city through Klein's vision: ironic, strange, violent, humorous and ultimately moving. Painter, photographer, graphic designer, moviemaker, American in Paris, William Klein escapes pigeonholes, categories and movements.
