if
the names coppola, warhol, polanski, and rauschenberg strike
a chord, read on. 1960's photog jerry schatzberg snapped their
iconic b&w's which are now gloriously on display at marylebone's atlas
gallery.
this bronx-born new yorker set up his first studio in manhattan in the 1950's,
and it wasn't long before his work was featured in glossies like vogue, town
and country, and esquire. and yes, his style has been compared
to that of cartier-bresson, but he was really both a photographer and a
director, responsible for flicks like "scarecrow" with al pacino and gene hackman,
and "puzzle of a downfall child" starring faye dunaway.
why
catch his exhibit? because his pics make you feel like you are
getting a candid glimpse of the actors he directed as well as
other artists like dylan, hendrix and zappa.
unlike
that frozen face you made the last time someone told you to "say
cheese."
your album is proof: not everyone's a schatzberg.
