DENNIS HOPPER (United States, 1936-2010)"James Rosenquist, 1964Photography, iris print.Edition 22/250.Signed and numbered in pencil.Size: 42,5 x 58 cmDennis Hopper was recognised as a great multi-faceted artist, working as an actor, film director, director and photographer, making his name with the release of his film "Easy Rider" in 1969.Hopper's beginnings in the world of photography were due to his relationship with James Dean, who encouraged him to start out as a photographer despite the fact that he had no training. From then on, he was accompanied by a Nikon F camera with which he took thousands of photographs that left their mark due to their sensitive content and their compositional and photographic ability.This work as a photographer led him to hold several exhibitions that became the subject of retrospectives and catalogues. He was an intuitive photographer who captured the world of painting and abstract expressionism, reflecting textures, masses, volumes and the most abrupt details. All this in an almost documentary style, sometimes crude and close to abstraction. He was interested in the streets, billboards and shop windows, emphasising the backgrounds and reflections. It is worth mentioning his work in the world of Hollywood, where he captured portraits of actors such as Jane Fonda and David McCallun. Hopper's career was largely due to his work as an actor and filmmaker, but it is worth mentioning his role in the world of photography, in which he showed great taste, as well as a remarkable creative and visual capacity.
