The last book completed by William Klein within his A landmark retrospective encompassing Klein's legacy of creativity across photography, filmmaking, painting, book design, graphic design and beyond. Photographer. Filmmaker. Artist. Designer. To master one of those disciplines would be a lifetime achievement for any creative individual, yet William Klein's career was celebrated in each of them over the last eight decades. Klein was one of the great image makers of the 20th century and one whose work remains an enduring creative influence on the work of contemporary artists, photographers, and filmmakers. With over 250 images, this career retrospective explores the late William Klein's entire creative and artistic arc. Directed by Klein himself, from the selection of content to book design, this large-format publication looks back at his uncompromisingly creative lifetime, showcasing Klein's prolific and relentlessly innovative contribution to the world of photography, art, design, and filmmaking. Published in association with a major retrospective at the International Center of Photography, this book is a comprehensive take on his career. While best known as a photographer who broke all the rules and conventions,  William Yes  focuses on the full range of Klein’s work, from his abstract paintings through to his startling, authentic street photography and photobooks and his dynamic, satirical take on filmmaking. With a flowing, chronological text by David Campany, this book will be both an introduction to William Klein for a new generation and a source of fresh insights for those who already know who William Klein a true original.  c. 200 color illustrations

A fascinating insight into the extraordinary life of William Klein and his revered career covering a multitude of artistic mediums. Klein’s busy compositions which fill every inch of the frame with information are products of how he involves himself in the scene, by interacting with his subjects and having a complete disregard for being noticed. Other methods of attempting to capture images in this way would be futile. Masterpiece after masterpiece fill this book, itself a work of art, but I particularly enjoy his pictures during his time in Rome. I was excited to learn of his collaboration with Robert Frank (another photographer I admire) whilst photographing a society event in New York.
