Born in Brooklyn, Nat Finkelstein (1933-2009) studied photography under Alexey Brodovitch, the legendary art director of Harper's Bazaar, and worked as a photojournalist for the Black Star and PIX photo agencies, reporting primarily on the political developments of various subcultures in New York City in the 1960s.
In 1964 Finkelstein entered Andy Warhol's Factory as a photojournalist and remained for three years; Finkelstein's photographs from this period are now regarded as some of the most iconic of the time.

Photographe, cinéaste, graphiste, peintre: les qualificatifs pleuvent lorsqu'il s'agit de désigner William Klein. Si ce dernier est aujourd'hui avant tout reconnu comme photographe, il s'est toujours attaché à brouiller les cartes : tour à tour peintre - formé entre autres dans l'atelier de Fernand Léger -, photographe (à partir de 1952, date de ses premiers travaux abstraits), puis cinéaste (à partir de 1958), Klein n'a cessé de défier les étiquettes et de tenter de mettre au point de « nouveaux objets visuels », à la frontière de la photographie, du cinéma et de la peinture.

Publisher's info:
Jerry and Dylan first met in 1965 while the latter was recording Highway 61 Revisited. They became friends and, over the course of the next year, Jerry took an extraordinary collection of photographs of Dylan recording, playing live, socialising and in Jerry's studio. Having just 'gone electric' and in the process of recording Blonde on Blonde, the photos capture Dylan at the most exciting point of his career.
