Years before he'd put the unmistakable imagery of 2001 and The Shining to celluloid, Stanley Kubrick was a teenage photojournalist in New York. The Skirball is celebrating that lesser-known period in Kubrick's career with a collection of over 130 of his photographs.
“Through a Different Lens: Stanley Kubrick Photographs” focuses on the filmmaker's early work for Look magazine, with a special emphasis on his depictions of human relationships, organizations and celebrities, as well as his channeling of film noir aesthetic touches.
The chronologically-arranged exhibition arrives at the Skirball on October 17 and runs through March 8, 2020.
