Captivating Youth

Greg Gorman is best known as an American portrait photographer of Hollywood celebrities who primarily works in black in white.  It all began for Gorman with a series of images taken at rock concerts in the late 60's. Afterwards, he "made the rounds" in Los Angeles until he got noticed.

My favorite quote from him:  "For me a photograph is most successful when it doesn't answer all the questions...and it leaves something to be desired".

His current book:


The Decorative Center of Houston is displaying a 200 piece retrospective exhibition of four decades of photography by Greg Gorman.



A Distinct Vision 1970-2010
April 27- June 3
Suite 1050

Please note that the Dec. Center is open M-F 9:00-5:00



Something to be admired...
