Glamorous, yet poetic: Dennis Hopper, In Dreams

"Girl with Glass, Paris" (1961–67) is reproduced from Dennis Hopper: In Dreams, a collection of mostly unpublished photographs gathered by Michael Schmelling from a vault that had not been touched since Hopper's painful divorce from actress Brooke Hayward in 1969. "I was trying to forget," Hopper is quoted. "The photographs represented failure to me. A painful parting from [daughter] Marin and Brooke, my art collection, the house that I lived in and the life that I had known for those eight years." Schmelling has created a poetic selection that reads like a dream-memory.
