We lost one of the great men of our time yesterday. Prostate Cancer won out over the 74-year old actor, God bless Dennis Hopper, an amazing actor and an avid art collector. Mr Hopper was also a well accomplished photographer, with a number of published books under his belt.
I remember going to the theater to watch Blue Velvet, back in '86. Dennis' presence and performance affected me greatly and has stuck with me ever since. The vision of a sharp-dressed Dennis huffing the Nitrous while whining 'mom-my, mom-my!' is forever burned in my brain.
*The video below briefly touches on his reasons for collecting art for the better part of half a century.
