Jerry Schatzberg

Edie Sedgwick, Slash

1966

From creator of poetic images to compelling storyteller, Jerry Schatzberg has, for decades, excelled in both the realms of photography and filmmaking.

Published in Vogue, McCall’s, Esquire, Glamour, and Life in the 1960s. Schatzberg captured intimate portraits of the generation's most notable artists, celebrities and thinkers (from Bob Dylan to Robert Rauschenberg), and he pushed on in the 1970s to the medium of film and participated in the renaissance of American cinema, directing films such as Puzzle of a Downfall Child, The Panic in Needle Park and Scarecrow. Schatzberg's films mark a significant time in the history of film when the importance of solid and introspective narrative proved paramount.

There are currently two books in production chronicling Jerry Schatzberg’s life and work.
