With three major films-East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, and Giant-all releasedwithin a year of each other and within months of his tragic death, James Deancaptured the world's imagination and has never let it go.
Magnum photographer Dennis Stock met James Dean at the Château Marmont inHollywood in 1954, and they became fast friends. Stock captured Dean's essence in astunning series of images of the actor in the midst of family and friends, as well asalone, sleeping, lost in thought, in the frozen fields of Indiana, and on a rainy day inManhattan. It was an extraordinary collaboration between two people in fullcommand of their respective talents.
In the words of the Life magazine article that accompanied the first publication ofthese photographs, James Dean was "the most exciting actor to hit Hollywood since Marlon Brando," but at the time the photographs were taken, he was still poised on the brink of fame. Dennis Stock:James Deanreintroduces these iconic photographs, taken at thedawn and high noon of a brief and brilliant career, with Dennis Stock's originalaccompanying text and a later introduction by Joe Hyams.
