Kurt Markus
The late photographer Kurt Markus was as famous for his documentation of cowboy life as he was for his unglamorous fashion shots. Our author tells of his encounter with the fascinating American in an Ivorian village.
The great American photographer Kurt Markus has died at the age of 75. His work spanned such different worlds as cowboys and fashion. He could spend ages in the solitude of Utah’s Monument Valley or in the Namibian dunes for his epic shots, and the next day shoot a supermodel in Cannes with the same calm. He was a cosmopolitan, but had never really left the vast expanses of the American West as it was in the grand scheme of things Obituary of the “New York Times” is called. His pictures are always touching, precisely because they appear to have fallen out of time.
