A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Dennis Hopper's many talents—actor, director, photographer, painter, and collector—are showcased in this monograph on an American icon. Dennis Hopper’s role in the seminal film Easy Rider (1969) made him an icon for the greatest directors of modern times, such as Coppola, Peckinpah, Altman, Wenders, Lynch, and Ferrara. Alternately a wonder boy and a pariah of the industry, Hopper’s original ideas have transformed film as we know it. Hopper has created and collected art for decades—he was a pioneering collector of major artists such as Basquiat, Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, and Warhol, from whom he bought the very first Soup Can. This monograph presents the art and artists that have inspired his cinematic work as an actor and director. Hopper’s own photographs of the silver screen’s biggest stars are juxtaposed with paintings acquired by Hopper from renowned artists, on-set shots of his films, and an art installation co-signed with Marcel Duchamp. Complete with an exclusive extended interview of the artist/actor/director, this books offers privileged insight into one of the era’s great fringe icons and brings to light the relationship between Hopper’s artwork and his cinematographic career.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

This fascinating insight into one of the most eclectic careers in Hollywood spans over forty years of work on the big screen and beyond. Dennis Hoppera rebel with a cause called New Holly-- wood. The road movie Easy Rider (1969) was a huge commercial hit and a seminal film for the American new wave. In Hoppers United States, rock music met with pop art, realism cohabited with psychedelic experience, and the producer-driven Hollywood of old caved in to the demands of a new generation. An icon for the greatest film directors of modern times (Coppola, Peckinpah, Altman, Wenders, Lynch, Ferrara), Dennis Hopper has always kept one foot in the anti-establishment, but the other in mainstream cinema and television series. A true chameleon, he has crossed the borders of fiction and reality, art and cinema. This work, accompanying an exhibition at ACMI in Melbourne from November 2009 through January 2010, showcases masterpieces from Dennis Hoppers collection that encapsulate the American counterculture of the last forty years.
