Paul Newman: Blue-Eyed Cool by James Clarke

$165.00 NZD

When asked about his desired legacy, Paul Newman once expressed, "I'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried. Tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being." As an actor who ascended to film stardom, Newman consistently engaged with the spirit of his era, reshaping conventional notions of movie stardom. He brought a unique authenticity, intensity, and sensitivity to his performances, redefining the cinematic landscape.

Newman's evolution as a new breed of movie star is beautifully captured through the lenses of photographers such as Douglas Kirkland, Lawrence Fried, Terry O'Neill, Al Satterwhite, and Eva Sereny, who collaborated with him both on and off set. These visual narratives, spanning his early stage collaborations with his wife, Joanne Woodward, his passion for racing cars, the compelling 1980s drama "Absence of Malice," the iconic success of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," as well as cult favourites like "Pocket Money" and "The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean," underscore the indispensable role Newman's movies played in shaping American culture.

"Paul Newman: Blue Eyed Cool" is a compendium that brings together portraits, stage captures, racing moments, and behind-the-scenes glimpses, featuring never-before-seen images. It serves as a tribute to an actor who effortlessly embodied coolness, both on and off-screen. With insightful commentary and contributions from the photographers themselves, this book is a must-have for fans who view Newman's cinematic work and life as a testament to true heroism.
