Dennis Hopper: Photographs from 1961 to 1967

Icon of the counter-culture, Dennis Hopper has already become a living legend, known worldwide for his work as an actor and a director and as a media personality. But, in earlier years, his creativity and singular vision led him to experiment intensively with other media as well. Here are his most striking photographs from the 1960s, images that show his unique hallucinatory vision of the world. Taken during the years between 1961 and 1967, these compelling photographs capture artist friends in dramatic, sometimes unsettling, portraits, brief acquaintances candidly posed, views of urban life, and documentary scenes that predate his later work.
