“Choosing the kind of lie you want to tell is actually the creative art of photography. And there are few better and more interesting liars than Anton.” - Brian Eno
Anton Corbijn has transformed his photo portrait subjects - from David Bowie to Nirvana and Nicolas Cage - into icons, capturing and enhancing their fame. One of the most important visual artists of the last century, Corbijn has had his works grace both the walls of art museums and the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
