Graphic designer, painter, photographer and filmmaker, William Klein was born in New York in 1928. He moved to Paris in 1948, where he was introduced to painting with André Lhote and then Fernand Léger. He made a sensational entry into the world of images in 1956, with his book on New York, Life Is Good and Good For You in New York: Trance Witness Revels, which upset the codes of photography of the time and marked generations of photographers. Other works will follow: Rome (1959), Moscow (1964), Tokyo (1964), Paris +Klein (2002). This free spirit has dynamited the codes of street photography with its supercharged images which seem to want to go beyond the frame but also those of fashion photography by taking it down to the street to create playful and dynamic scenes, confronting models with the city, urban chaos and the mood of passers-by. Provocation, power, beauty, fury.
