American Beauty, from the "Brief Encounters with the Dead" portfolio Date: 1967 Herb Greene photographed the rock musicians and other members of San Francisco's cultural milieu during the height of its creative productivity. Greene, a friend of many of San Francisco's most influential musicians, worked as few photographers have: not as a documenter from the outside, but as a participant within the music scene he was photographing. Many of his photographs have become signature portraits of these musicians. His revealing portraits of The Jefferson Airplane, Jeff Beck, The Pointer Sisters, The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Carlos Santana, Sly Stone, Rod Stewart and many others helped create astonishing family album for an entire generation. Herb Greene is perhaps the best-known chronicler of the Haight-Ashbury music scene in the 1960s. During this vibrant period in American music history, Greene worked by day as a staff photographer for a San Francisco department store, while photographing characters of the early rock scene on his own time. His work during these years helped define popular images of superstar performers such as the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Janis Joplin. Overall Size: 18 5/8 x 18 5/8 in.
