In the second half of the 20th century, the phenomena of rock and roll music, movies, and network television converged with the rise of tabloid magazines to shape a culture where celebrities had an outside influence on both the American Zeitgeist and American life. Celebrity photographer David McGough was there for most of it, waiting backstage, or on the street with his camera and eager eye. His recently released book, Icon is a coffee table sized collection of some of the greatest shots, interspersed with anecdotes of his life at the fringes of an era. A master of capturing the larger- than -life nature of both performers, and ( all kinds of) performance, as well as the tiny details that define character, McGough's work elevates the notion of "celebrity photographer" into a genre of its own right. -Mary Angeles Armstrong
