The sixties, in all their turbulence and revelation, have been documented many times over; but the photographic recollections of actor/artist/director Dennis Hopper have set themselves
decidedly apart. Now an undisputed icon of the era, Hopper captured some of the most intriguing moments of his generation with a keen and intuitive eye. At the epicenter of a cultural upheaval
that would transform art, music, and politics, Hopper documented the likes of Tina Turner, Andy Warhol, Paul Newman and Martin Luther King during the Civil Rights. These amazing images have
been collected into a single extensive volume; over a third of them never before published and all mined from Hoppers own personal archive. In many ways this work is photography as film, a
deeply poignant narrative expressed through a collection of unforgettable images. The result is photography that captures the same energy and intensity that would later mark Hoppers work as
actor and director.
