Summary
Details

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.
