William Klein Belgium

“Today, thanks to the invaluable support of the William Klein Studio, this book has come to life. Together we uncovered an unpublished series, taken in Belgium, a country close to William’s heart. His wife, Jeanne, was Belgian; this was familiar to him, even intimate.”Here, we see Klein at work: in the streets of Brussels, in traditional cafe´s, around the construction of the Atomium in the late 1950s. Already, everything is there — the powerful contrasts, the vibrant neon lights, the bold typography, that unmistakable way of framing the energy of the world. “(From the introduction by Roger Szmulewicz, owner of Gallery FIFTY ONE)
