{"product_id":"william-coupon-portraits","title":"William Coupon: Portraits","description":"This long overdue monograph presents a panorama of portraits from the photographer  William Coupon. Coupon was given wide access to artists, musicians, politicians,  authors, and the world's indigenous people on assignment from major publications  like  Time ,  Rolling Stone ,  The New York Times ,  Esquire , and  The Washington Post . He  photographed his subjects against a mottled backdrop of hand-painted Belgian linen,  often in a classically lit medium shot format, inspired by Dutch masters such as  Rembrandt and Holbein. Coupon has remained true to this method, whether working  in the Oval Office in Washington D. C. or a tribal hut amongst the Pygmy in the  Central African Republic, or the Caraja in the Brazilian Amazon. Environmental images  compliment the more formal portraits.  Portraits  includes iconic images of Mick Jagger,  Miles Davis, Elie Wiesel, David Byrne, Presidents Nixon, Carter, Bush, Trump, George  Steinbrenner, Jean Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, and Prince Philip among many  others from Haiti, Panama, Holland, Northern Scandinavia, Australia, Malaysia, Turkey,  Italy, Peru, Mexico and other places. Coupon has created a collection that documents  his times but also captured his generation in all its vibrancy. In his work, he seeks to  present a truly egalitarian portrait of humanity integrating common people with the  wealthy, powerful, and famous.","brand":"Damiani Editore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665637412900,"sku":"9788862086035","price":65.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9788862086035.jpg?v=1773269125","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/william-coupon-portraits","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
