Résumé

This astonishing book, for which all the photographs have been selected and laid out by William Klein himself, is an inspiring visual history of a long and distinguished career. His chronologically arranged collection of work includes iconic photographs, painted contact sheets and magazine covers, as well as examples of his seminal photo-books of the 1950s and 1960s, represented here by their powerfull jackets and spreads.
Black-and-white and colour fashion photographs range from portraits to filmic and surreal tableaux, revealing klein's revolutionary impact on the genre, whilst film posters and stills show the ways in which he captured and commented on the spirit of the times, creating biopics of muhammad ali and Little Richard and Feature films with stars including Donald Pleasance and Serge Gainsbourg. William Klein : ABC Showccases his masterful achievements at their very best.
Supplementing the stunning images is an insightful text by David Campany that in Klein's own opinion would be impossible to better as a succint distillation and fine understanding of his life's work accross a wide range of artistic fields.
