"In 1945, at just 17 years old, Stanley KUBRICK became a staff photographer for Look magazine. His humanist slice-of-life features celebrate his native New York City and already reveal a burgeoning creative genius. With around 300 images, many previously unseen, as well as rare Look magazine tear sheets.
Featuring around 300 images, many previously unseen, as well as rare Look magazine tear sheets, 'Stanley Kubrick Photographs. Through a Different Lens' coincides with a major show at the Museum of the City of New York and includes an introduction by noted photography critic Luc SANTE. (...)
Before becoming the critically acclaimed filmmaker responsible for such iconic films as 'Dr. Strangelove' and 'The Shining', Stanley KUBRICK spent five years as a photographer for Look magazine.
The Bronx native joined the staff in 1945, when he was only 17 years old, and shot humanist slice-of-life features that celebrate and expose New York City and its inhabitants.
'Through a Different Lens' reveals the keen and evocative vision of a burgeoning creative genius in a range of feature stories and images, from everyday folk at the laundromat to a day in the life of a debutant, from a trip to the circus to Columbia University.
These still photographs attest to Stanley KUBRICK’s innate talent for compelling storytelling, and serve as clear indicators of how this genius would soon transition to making some of the greatest movies of all time." (publisher's note, © Taschen Verlag, 2014)
