Dennis Hopper



Last Week, I went to the MFA to a artist lecture with Dennis Hopper as the guest speaker. I showed up extra early and was fortunate enough to greet him. Dennis Hopper is a well known actor, who has starred in many great films. Blue Velvet, Easy Rider, and famous Rebel without a Cause. While in his acting career he would shoot photo's of many of his costars working on set. One day while photographing James Dean, he was confronted by James for taking his photo. James said to Dennis not to crop the photo that if he cropped his photo's he'd regret it. At the show Dennis said he thanks James for that advice!

He was very close to the Pop Art king himself Andy Warhol. They were friends and Dennis is in one of Warhol's paintings. Dennis's work is most a mix between pop art and impressionistic. His images look very photo like... when the are oil on canvas. He was very intriguing in his evolution into the art world. I was very inspired to go home and find my missing imagination.
