James Dean & Roy Schatt: The Mirrored Psyche - Photographs of and by James Dean

James Dean... Untitled (Martin Landau with Horns) (vintage gelatin silver print). From James Dean & Roy Schatt: The Mirrored Psyche - Photographs of and by James Dean at The Lowe Gallery. "...James Dean was a promising young actor who died too young in 1955 and whose debauched angel's air has helped keep him a cult hero for [over] 30 years now. Roy Schatt, his chronicler, is a theatrical photographer, specializing in portfolio prints of performers who are seeking to convince casting directors of the wide range of human emotions they can mimic. He takes himself very seriously and is perhaps best known for some pouty head-and-shoulder pictures of Dean that he reverently calls 'the torn sweater series.'" Also...
