Dennis Stock: James Dean

Dennis Stock: James Dean

An intimate and searching visual portrait of the star-crossed Hollywood icon, James Dean
With three major filmsâ‚¬â€¢East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, and Giantâ‚¬â€¢all released within a year of each other and within months of his tragic death, James Dean captured the worldâ‚¬s imagination and has never let it go.

Magnum photographer Dennis Stock met James Dean at the Chteau Marmont in Hollywood in 1954, and they became fast friends. Stock captured Deanâ‚¬s essence in a stunning series of images of the actor in the midst of family and friends, as well as alone, sleeping, lost in thought, in the frozen fields of Indiana, and on a rainy day in Manhattan. It was an extraordinary collaboration between two people in full command of their respective talents.

In the words of the Life magazine article that accompanied the first publication of these photographs, James Dean was â‚¬Å“the most exciting actor to hit Hollywood since Marlon Brando,â‚¬Â but at the time the photographs were taken, he was still poised on the brink of fame. Dennis Stock:James Dean reintroduces these iconic photographs, taken at the dawn and high noon of a brief and brilliant career, with Dennis Stockâ‚¬s original accompanying text and a later introduction by Joe Hyams. 125 black-and-white photographs
