Episode 4
Published 1 year, 11 months ago
Description
It’s hard to think of a famous person from the past half century that hasn’t sat for a portrait by Jonathan Becker. From Madonna and Mikhail Gorbachev to Gore Vidal and Andy Warhol, this legendary photographer’s work is exposed in a stunning (and first) monograph, Jonathan Becker: Lost Time. On this episode, Dan speaks with Becker about his days as a young protégé of Brassaï, his days in New York during the heyday of the ’70s, his decades of contributions to Vanity Fair, his thoughts on the art form today, and how he once drove Diana Vreeland around in a taxi.
