Winner of the 2012 Los Angeles Book Festival Photography/Art Book
Award, Dan Winters' America: Icons and Ingenuity is the first
retrospective of the career of this talented artist. Winters has
spent more than two decades creating memorable photographs for such
publications as the New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, GQ, and
Rolling Stone. Best known for his iconic celebrity portraits,
Winters has photographed public figures ranging from the Dalai Lama
to President Barack Obama, Hollywood celebrities from Leonardo
DiCaprio to Helen Mirren, and artistic luminaries from Jeff Koons
to William Christenberry. His style of portraiture is instantly
recognizable, characterized by impeccable lighting, muted
backgrounds, and the contemplative postures of his sitters.
Winters' lifelong fascination with science, technology, and human
ingenuity finds similar expression in significant groups of
photographs: close-up studies of honeybees and airplanes and a
magnificent series devoted to the last three launches of NASA's
space shuttles. These photographs reveal an aspect of Winters'
career that is less familiar than his commercial work but equally
compelling. In addition to the popular icons, America includes
expressions of Winters' personal vision. This lyrical body of work
shows the same keen eye for lighting and composition, but with a
decidedly more intimate ambiance: photographs of his wife and son,
spare cityscapes, and elegant collages. America: Icons and
Ingenuity also includes a biographical essay that traces his
development in a varied and productive career that is, itself, a
work in progress.
