author: Jonathan Kane
description: <span><span>Kane&#39;s portraits of rockers from Dylan to Joplin have an artistic panache that links them with his bold fashion imagery: the look of an illustrator with a camera. (American Photo Magazine&#39;s Top 10 Photo Books of 2014)</span></span> (<i>American Photo Magazine, December 1, 2014</i>)<br /><br /><span><span>Full of stunning images of the Stones and Cream alongside figures like Lenny Bruce, from a photographer who lived for the perfect shot.</span></span> (<i>Rolling Stone, January 16, 2015</i>)<br /><br /><span><span>Art Kane&#39;s creative legacy gets deserved attention with the publication of the new book </span><span style="font-style:italic;">Art Kane</span><span>. This one is a must for anyone interested in photo history.</span></span> (<i>January 22, 2015</i>)<br /><br /><span><span>This book is the definitive statement of Art Kane.</span></span> (Mike Foldes, Ragazine <i>February 2015</i>)<br /><br /><span><span>The first and only definitive collection of Kane&rsquo;s work, the book provides a comprehensive survey not only of the enduring music photography that followed the &ldquo;Harlem 1958&rdquo; photograph, but also Kane&rsquo;s work on social issues, fashion, editorial and celebrity portraiture.</span></span> (Eliza Berman <i>Time, February 6, 2015</i>)<br /><br /><span><span>Take a long, hard look: it&#39;s marvelous. And did you see the list of contributors! We should be thankful for everyone who made this book possible.</span></span><br /><br /><span><span>In the turbulent cultural climate of the 1960&#39;s and 70&#39;s Art Kane&#39;s images informed, educated and illuminated as much as any published essay. Looking at an Art Kane image dealing with social issues such as civil rights, the war in Vietnam, apartheid ... could teach you as much as reading a book on the topic because of the laser focus he brought to his image making.</span></span> (Tom Semioli <i>Huffington Post, April 13, 2015</i>)<br /><br /><span><span>Page after page of his work has a timeless quality and can feel as contemporary as anything being made now. Although his name is less remembered than at the height of his career, many of his images are iconic, unforgettable and forever burned into our pop consciousness.</span></span> (Tyler Hubby <i>Artillery Magazine, June 2015</i>)
