About Greg Gorman
Hollywood's world-famous photographer.
Greg Gorman is undoubtedly one of the most important photographers of our time. For over 30 years, he has made a name for himself as a portrait photographer of almost all Hollywood film and music celebrities: Sharon Stone, Leonardo di Caprio, Marlon Brando, Richard Gere, Arnold Schwarzenegger, just to name a few.
Gorman's nude photographs are also famous around the world and are exhibited internationally in the most prestigious galleries. With his unmistakable style, his love for strong contrasts and extreme plays of light and shadow, he manages to bring out the most distinctive about each of his models. Gorman's nude portraits combine erotic charisma with classical aesthetics, human nature with timeless beauty, empathy with seduction.
A process for producing images by the action of light, which became widely known in 1839. Photography quickly became the basis for the expanding image industry that pushed the manually produced pictures, paintings and drawings into the background.
The avant-garde painting adopted photographic form elements, to ensure its painting validity. In the 1920s, many avant-garde painters devoted themselves to photography. With his photographs and photomontages, the American painter Man Ray developed new means of expression in modern art, the so-called "rayographs".
The Pop Art of the 1960s varied and alienated the public photograph with the help of technical means. The American pop artist Andy Warhol (1928 - 1987) is the most famous master of this art movement with his images and image series created in this way.
