Art Kane is best known for his music photography, as well as being a great photographer of naked girls. His subject matter is incredibly multifarious however, and his composition is always innovative, often incorporating surrealism.
A definitive volume of his work is set to be released by Reel Art Press on the 15th of December, alongside an exhibition in London’s Snap Galleries, opening Thursday 11th of December and running up until the end of January.
Here’s a little cross section of Kane’s work – the first picture featured here is his first ever assignment as a trainee photographer, and features 57 of the world’s most famous Jazz musicians in Harlem – check the full list here
