Photographer: Dennis Stock (American, 1924 - 2010) - American photographer and journalist, member of the Magnum photo agency for 6 decades. Best known for his photographs of the 1950's - 1960's American jazz scene and the now iconic images of a young James Dean on the cusp of stardom. Stock met James Dean in 1955, a few months before Dean's untimely death. They became fast friends and Stock undertook a series of photos of the actor in Hollywood, Dean's hometown in Indiana, and in New York City.
