This long overdue monograph presents a panorama of portraits from
the photographer William Coupon. Coupon was given wide access to
artists, musicians, politicians, authors, and the world's
indigenous people on assignment from major publications like Time ,
Rolling Stone , The New York Times , Esquire , and The Washington
Post . He photographed his subjects against a mottled backdrop of
hand-painted Belgian linen, often in a classically lit medium shot
format, inspired by Dutch masters such as Rembrandt and Holbein.
Coupon has remained true to this method, whether working in the
Oval Office in Washington D. C. or a tribal hut amongst the Pygmy
in the Central African Republic, or the Caraja in the Brazilian
Amazon. Environmental images compliment the more formal portraits.
Portraits includes iconic images of Mick Jagger, Miles Davis, Elie
Wiesel, David Byrne, Presidents Nixon, Carter, Bush, Trump, George
Steinbrenner, Jean Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, and Prince Philip
among many others from Haiti, Panama, Holland, Northern
Scandinavia, Australia, Malaysia, Turkey, Italy, Peru, Mexico and
other places. Coupon has created a collection that documents his
times but also captured his generation in all its vibrancy. In his
work, he seeks to present a truly egalitarian portrait of humanity
integrating common people with the wealthy, powerful, and famous.
