Summary:

Photographer Dennis Stock (1928-2010) is renowned for his classic images of Hollywood stars and jazz musicians such as James Dean, Audrey Hepburn, John Wayne, Louis Armstrong, and Miles Davis. Beyond Iconic surveys Stock's work and reveals his artistic philosophy, giving a penetrating portrait of a man devoted to his craft. This engaging film brings viewers into Stock's workshop to examine photography as a social force as well as an art form. It presents hundreds of Stock's famous photographs, which include images from the golden ages of Hollywood and jazz as well as stills of the American social landscape, architecture, and nature. An early member of Magnum, one of the world's most famous photographic agencies, Stock was an artist of intellectual depth who had a talent for expressing strong opinions and colorful anecdotes. As a teacher, he encouraged his students to maintain their creative integrity. Stock's prolific work captures twentieth century American history with sensitivity and humor, encapsulating his belief that photography is both an artistic expression and a concrete means to record reality.
