Book Description These dramatic, never-before-published photographs portray a young Elvis Presley during a pivotal year in his career, capturing his magnetic sensuality, physical grace, & innate sense of style.
In 1956, Presley burst into superstardom. His first film, Love Me Tender, opened to mass teenage hysteria. He had his (and the world's) first million-selling album. He broke alll viewing records when he appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. And Marvin Israel created this potent photographic essay of the 21-year-old star that is now being published for the first time.
Israel captured Elvis in the heat of performance, relaxing backstage, & at the new house he bought for his parents in Memphis. His singular portrait is set within a critical moment in American popular culture, when it was hijacked by a new generation. Martin Harrison, who selected the photographs, provides a brief essay on Israel's work & his stature in the history of American photography.
The late Marvin Israel was a designer & artist, mentor to such important photographers as Diane Arbus & Richard Avedon, & art director of Seventeen magazine & Harper's Bazaar.
Martin Harrison is a curator, critic, & one of the foremost historians of postwar photography.
