William
Klein was born in 1928, growing up in the "mean streets" of Manhattan.
At age 18 he entered the U.S. Army for a two-year stint (a year and a
half of which were spent at the Sorbonne at the invitation of the French
government), and then set himself up in Paris, where he worked briefly
with Fernand Léeger.
In 1954, after six years of painterly research, he
returned to New York to embark on a guerilla confrontation with his
estranged native city. The result was the remarkable photo-journal New York,
which won the 1957 Prix Nadar in France but was never published in the
United States.
Over the next few years, Klein produced three new photo
books and worked intermittently for Vogue
magazine, then, in 1958, abandoned photography for for film and
documentary work. In the 80s he returned to the still camera and
produced three new photo books, followed by a new, greatly expanded
version of New York, and
a book on his films.
Over the course of his multidisciplinary career,
Klein has been honored with a Hasselblad Prize, a Guggenheim Foundation
grant, a Grand Prix National in France, and an Agfa Award.
