Dennis Stock, 1928-2010

DENNIS STOCK, a photographer with Magnum Photos for almost 50 years passed on Monday 11th 2010. You can view a variety of his wonderful era defining images online, namely his portrayal of James Dean, which defined the young youth rebel as he waited on the cusp of fame and in the months before his death, all iconic images of the young JD which you will recognise.
In addition Stock was a great fan of jazz and spent 3 years, (that's dedication!), on his portraits of a jazz musician's life in the years 1957-1960. A true historian of the changing times, he captured California throughout the 60's, on the road and with the hippies.
In his own words; "Art is a well articulated manifestation of an aspect of life. I have been privileged to view much of life through my cameras, making the journey an enlightened experience. My emphasis has mainly been on affirmative reactions to human behaviour and a strong attraction to the beauty in nature." RIP Dennis. Your images will resonate on. Peace
