Kurzbeschreibung
Heroes, idols, and enemies revealed as never before.
What happens when a photographer known for his empathetic portraiture of the marginalized or downtrodden suddenly focuses his extraordinary eye on the lifestyles of the rich and the famous? In Bruce Davidson's wildly diverse and typically revealing Personalities witness an aggressive Joan Crawford, apparently hell-bent on force-feeding some poor soul; the unwavering intensity of Samuel Beckett during a rehearsal of Waiting for Godot; and Diana Ross and the Supremes in the midst of a snowball fight or relaxing backstage at the Apollo. Seen through Davidson's lens, Newt Gingrich looks as goofy as Bobby Kennedy seems impenetrable.
From his portraits of East One Hundredth Street in Harlem, to subway riders in Subway, or the denizens of Central Park in his most recent, widely acclaimed Aperture Book, Central Park, Davidson has always established an intuitive rapport with his subjects. Now, for the first time, we see him take on some of our favorite and most controversial personalities.

Famous folks, by Davidson
27. August 2000
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Fans of humane, compassionate photographer Bruce Davidson won't be surprised at these portraits. They are of famous people, mostly American, caught in wonderfully human moments by Davidson over many years. The Supremes have a snowball fight in Detroit in 1965; a pensive (or exhausted) Sammy Davis Jr., shirtless, a microphone strapped to his chest - in his dressing room; Antonioni filming, on a bus in LA in 1968; Marilyn Monroe getting made up on a set; Paul Newman (fishing) and Joanne Woodward with their dog on the water's edge in Connecticut in 1965. Linus Pauling at Stanford, seated at a desk, papers piled high, with a fabulous, chaotic chalkboard in view. Lots more, too, and not all of them are glamorous "celebrities," some are well-known Americans such as Fannie Lou Hamer, poet Sharon Olds, James Meredith - at work, in bed, on the street. Great photos, some almost candids, that are expressive and informative - of the era as well as the subjects.
While great to browse through, this compilation seems a little rushed. There is no table of contents, and no index. Some of the subjects are puzzlingly unidentified by name; "Henry Fonda's wife," for example. Davidson supplies memories and anecdotes about fewer than half of his subjects.
