THE SUBJECTS
Baron Wolman, Photographer
Baron Wolman is one of the most iconic American photographers, best known for his work in the late 1960s for the music magazine Rolling Stone, where he captured some of music history’s most memorable moments. For three years his photographs were published regularly in Rolling Stone and became the magazine's graphic centerpiece. Over forty years later, Baron and his photographs are once more in great demand, with exhibits and appearances scheduled in cities and countries around the world.
Sophie Kipner, Painter
Sophie Kipner is a visual artist and writer from Topanga, California. She recently finished a seven-month show at the iconic Hotel Figueroa downtown Los Angeles. The show pulled from her current ongoing project, DONTLIFTUP DONTLOOKDOWN - in which she uses blind contouring (the technique of not lifting the pen or looking at the canvas to draw her subjects). Her work has been featured in Forbes Magazine, KCRW, KTLA, Huffington Post, Architectural Digest, L.A. Weekly, NBC, Thrillist, Los Angeles Magazine, Conde Nast’s The Scene and Flaunt Magazine. Her debut novel, The Optimist, for which she also drew the illustrations, was originally published in the UK in 2017 by Unbound, and will be published in the US and Canada on March 30, 2021.
