William Klein - The Great Photographers

The App represents a completely new way of knowing and experiencing William Klein’s images, thanks to the richness of the content, the interactivity and the exceptionally high visual quality. This App is available in English, Italian and French for iPad. It contains 393 images that can be viewed individually or in slideshow.

William Klein has an incredibly eclectic creativity: photographer, film director, painter. The App not only allows you to surf the photographer’s images, but also to view excerpts of his main feature films and admire a selection of his paintings: a total immersion in Klein’s complex artistic universe.

An innovative graphic design guides the reader-spectator in an articulate journey across a number of specific paths. Each path intends to study in depth different aspects of Klein’s body of work. The App is also equipped with an interactive path, My Klein, that gives the user the possibility to select one’s favourite pictures and build a hypothetical exhibition to share on social networks.
The App is also enriched with a number of contributions:

- an original analysis and reading of 4 important images of the author organized as Lessons of Photography, by Alessia Tagliaventi

- critical essays by Robert Delpire, Max Kozloff, Alessandra Mauro, Quentin Bajac and David Company;

- critical essays by William Klein, as a commentary to his works;

- interesting video contributions and exclusive interviews with Jean-Paul Goude and Klein carried out appropriately for this App:

- video footage in which Klein comments his images, tells us about his work and illustrates his poetics;


The William Klein – The Great Photographers App is therefore a new experience of close critic examination and interactivity on the complex work of this incredible artist. For the first time William Klein is described not only through his images and his essays, but also through his films, his paintings, his words and through the direct account of those who have chosen to tell us, in this specific occasion, the photographer, the man, the artist, the friend.
