William Klein

"Today, thanks to the invaluable support of the William Klein Studio, this book has come to life. Together we uncovered an unpublished series, taken in Belgium, a country close to William's heart. His wife, Jeanne, was Belgian ; this was familiar to him, even intimate. " Here, we see Klein at work : in the streets of Brussels, in traditional cafe ? s, around the construction of the Atomium in the late 1950s.
Already, everything is there - the powerful contrasts, the vibrant neon lights, the bold typography, that unmistakable way of framing the energy of the world. " (From the introduction by Roger Szmulewicz, owner of Gallery FIFTY ONE)
