The 1960s: Photographed By David Hurn (Hardcover)

,
Life as it unfolds in front of the camera is full of so much complexity, wonder and surprise that I find it unnecessary to create new realities. There is more pleasure, for me, in things as-they-are. David Hurn David Hurn is one of the most important British Magnum photographers. His documentary photographs are distinguished by their quiet observation and remarkable insight. This volume is the first anthology dedicated to Hurn during one of his most iconic periods of the 1960s. Included are photoessay from the streets of New York, anti-Vietnam protests, the London Soho scene, the French Riviera, Queen Charlotte's Ball and the Isle of Wight Festival in 1969. Also featured are portraits of some of the coolest characters of the age like Michael Caine, Quentin Crisp and Julie Christie and Hurn's work within the film industry capturing The Beatles during filming of A Hard Day's Night, Sean Connery in From Russia With Love and Jane Fonda in Barbarella. This is a magnificent volume, curated with insight and appreciation for a true master of his art.
