The Luminous Years Portraits at Mid-Century
by Karl Bissinger, Introduction by Gore Vidal
"These photographs capture those lost, luminous years of artistic and literary life,
particularly in New York, but also in London, Paris, Los Angeles and elsewhere.
Taken together they offer a collective portrait of a cultural milieu the likes of which
will not be seen again." Some of the subjects of Bissinger's photographs include
actors Gary Cooper, Katherine Hepburn, Montgomery Clift, Marlon Brando,
Alec Guinness, Tallulah Bankhead, as well as prominent writers, dancers and artist
of this "fleeting golden era." An intriguing addition to any library or coffee table!
