Call Before You Come

The Photographs of Jerry de Wilde

Beschreibung

Call Before You Come: The Photographs of Jerry de Wilde presents a stunning portrait of an era that lit up briefly but brightly--Los Angeles in the late 1960s and early 1970s. De Wilde's photographs provide a rich and intimate look at the American countercultural scene, from "the Farm" where he lived above Warner Bros. Studios and photographed his friends experimenting with tie dye, to wider cultural events and art happenings, love-ins, anti-war demonstrations, Monterey Pop, and the March on Washington. Call Before You Come touches art, music, fashion, and politics, but also friendship, family, and community--an examination of life.

Autor

Jerry de Wilde was born in Brooklyn, NY, where he lived until he left to attend college at Columbia University in 1955. In late spring of 1965, he and friend, Anton Greene, an artist and filmmaker, rented the old 46-acre Barham Ranch in the hills above Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles. Over the next seven to eight years it became known as "The Farm," a creative environment that was a notorious haven for actors, writers, musicians, artists, designers, filmmakers and poets with something to say. In 1992, de Wilde was invited to be an associate professor of fine art photography at Woodbury University where he taught for seven years. Most recently he has been photographing and printing large and medium format black and white abstract landscapes shot mostly in the American Southwest and Scotland.
