About The 1960s
This beautiful volume is the first anthology dedicated to Hurn during one of his most iconic periods of the 1960s. This collection shows, Hurn has the skill to entice the best out of his subjects. And the wit to turn everyday images into an enduring legacy". Hurn's portfolio is a unique blend of celebrity and anonymity, which provides a far more accurate summary of the decade than an anthology of superstar portraits. His rendering of the 1960s encompasses Hollywood screen idols and East End sun-seekers; headline news, alongside rituals unchanged for centuries.
Included are photoessays from the streets of New York. Anti-Vietnam protests, the London Soho scene, the French Riviera. 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. 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.
