It was his good friend and fellow artisan, the late James Dean who encourage him to take photography more seriously, since then Dennis Hop armed himself with a camera everywhere in the 1960s, shooting his fellow artists, musicians, movie stars and fashion designers who would define his generation.
Featuring several previously unpublished photographs, the book compiled a 400 images of dramatic visual treatment of the 1960s, reflecting a world in progress—politically, socially and artistically. From the civil rights march at Selma to the art world’s electricity to grittier, urban street scenes, from politicians to writers to artists to complete strangers, Hopper’s picture capture represents an era. Each of the 1,500 limited-edition copies comes with signed and numbered by Hopper. The Art Edition, limited to just 100 copies, includes a signed, original print.
