William Klein's consistently experimental work as a painter, film-maker, graphic artist and fashion photographer jolts us out of our cosy viewing habits.
William Klein has always refused to obey the rules. His consistently experimental work as a painter, film-maker, graphic artist and fashion photographer jolts us out of our cosy viewing habits. Klein uses the camera lens to set up a confrontational encounter with his subject. As Alain Jouffroy puts it, "For Klein, the act of photographing is physical as much as artistic. Photography should be like a shock of sensual, violent energy."
