 ウィリアム・クラインさん(米写真家・映画監督)10日、パリで死去、96歳。

 家族が12日にAFP通信に明らかにした。

 米ニューヨーク生まれ。パリで絵画を学んだ後、写真の世界に入り、ファッション誌「ヴォーグ」の写真や都市生活を描いた写真を手掛けた。ブレやボケを使った手法で写真に大きな変革をもたらすことに貢献した。映画監督としても活動し、主な作品に「ポリー・マグーお前は誰だ」(66年)、「モハメド・アリ/ザ・グレーテスト」(74年)などがある。(パリAFP時事)。

「 米写真家」ということだけど、Wikipedia(英語版)では、”an American-born French photographer and filmmaker”と記述されている*1

曰く、


Klein lived in France since he met his wife, Jeanna Florin, when they both were 18. The couple remained together until her death, in 2005.

“Our relationship was the love affair of the century. We met when we were 18 and we were together for more than 50 years. That’s Paris,” he told the Guardian in 2014*2.

“As a kid, I wanted to be part of the Lost Generation who came to France. Hang out at the Coupole with Picasso and Giacometti.”

Asked if he felt French, Klein said he did not. “But I’m at home with the French,” he said. “Hanging out with Americans: for me, that sucks.”
