RIP William Klein (1926 – 2022)

William Klein (1926 – 2022) was an American-French photographer and film director.

He is known for such photos as Broadway and 103rd Street, New York, 1954–1955 and films such as Who Are You, Polly Maggoo? (1966), Mr. Freedom (1969) and The Model Couple (1977).

Tate docu on Klein, with lots of his early New York photos.

Klein was unassuming, unpretentious and had a healthy dose of humor. Here at Jahsonic we have lots of sympathy for mr. Klein. He strikes us as a nobrow artist, a category we hold in high esteem.
