{"product_id":"william-coupon-portraits","title":"William Coupon: Portraits","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis long-overdue monograph presents an astonishing panorama of portraits by American photographer William Coupon (born 1952). With his camera  the photographer was given unprecedented access to artists  musicians and politicians such as Elie Wiesel  Mick Jagger  Jean-Michel Basquiat  George Harrison  Miles Davis with his daughter  David Byrne and many others. He photographed these people against a backdrop of hand-painted Belgian linen  side-lit by a single fixture  with a medium-format camera  producing painterly portraits that recall Rembrandt and Holbein. Coupon has diverged little from this method over the years  whether shooting the president in the Oval Office or indigenous people. Looking through these images   we see the range of personalities and faces  known and unknown  that has caught Coupons eye from 1978 to the present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44947007668277,"sku":"ByrdShop_8862086032","price":48.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9788862086035.jpg?v=1769977228","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/william-coupon-portraits","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
