Although Hopper had been taking pictures since the mid-‘50s, his style
of capturing intimate portraits of friends, dynamic elements of urban
landscapes, and the changing world around him came to fruition in the
‘60s. He documented the Beat and Pop Art scenes, the soul and hippie
music realms, moments from his movie world, and the civil-rights
movement. Shooting in black and white, Hopper made a graphic body
of work that reflects the delights and troubles of the era. The
Shafrazi
show, titled Signs of the Times, presents 110 photographs, shot
between 1961 and 1967, and more than a dozen new paintings that
blow up and dynamically transform the artist’s most iconic images.
