Bucharest Nights

Famous for his edgy acting roles (including Blue Velvet) as well as his directorial projects (like the counterculture classic Easy Rider), Dennis Hopper has also been a member of the Los Angeles arts scene for five decades, creating highly regarded paintings, sculptures, and photographs. Hopper embraced digital photography early, and Bucharest Nights showcases the best of his work in that format. Here is the city at night, painted in dark hues, the urban demimonde in all its grim glory. With the same kind of restless energy he brings to his film roles, Hopper pries into places, people, and moments others might pass up for lack of native curiosity. In a headlong pursuit of the essential and the evocative, this vibrant series of images captures specific places and times with a fearlessness and keenness of eye that is the hallmark of his work.Hopper, Dennis is the author of 'Bucharest Nights' with ISBN 9780974707884 and ISBN 0974707880.
