Dennis Hopper was not only one of Hollywood’s most charismatic actors and directors, he also was a painter and photographer. Somehow his work is reminiscent of a frenetic and provocative life-style we experience her in Berlin. Check out a small selection of his work after the jump.
In his photography, Dennis Hopper was a careful observer, reflecting what he saw in a spontaneous, intimate and poetic way. He also documented his surroundings: the dynamic and vibrant American art scene of the 1960s. On the other hand his pictures do have a distinct political dimension. Looking at these pictures, we travel back in time to one of the most interesting periods in American history.
