BIOGRAPHY: On August 15-18, 1969, Max Yasgur's 600-acre dairy farm in Bethel, NY was transformed into the Woodstock Music & Art Fair. The organizers expected 200,000 people, but in this muddy cow pasture, over 450,000 people enjoyed a three-day concert experience featuring 32 of the best-known musicians of the day.The photographer artists: - Jim Marshall's 40-years of photography include famous shots of Johnny Cash, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Janis Joplin and other stars in rock music. Since he demanded total access, Marshall often lived 24-7 with his subjects, and his pictures reflect affection for the artists as they describe the musicians' character. - Baron Wolman settled in Haight-Ashbury in the 1960's, in the neighborhood that included Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead living nearby. After meeting Jann Wenner in 1967, Wolman became the chief photographer for Wenner’s new magazine, Rolling Stone. - Henry Diltz. embarked on a photographic career with an album cover for The Lovin’ Spoonful. His unique artistic style has produced powerful photographic essays of Woodstock; The Monterey Pop Festival; The Doors; Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; Jimi Hendrix and scores of other legendary artists. - Lisa Law was backstage taking pictures with The Beatles; Peter, Paul and Mary; The Kingston Trio; Otis Redding; The Lovin Spoonful; The Velvet Underground and The Byrds. Her own house guests included Bob Dylan and Andy Warhol. She helped feed hundreds of thousands at Woodstock with the Hog Farm Commune. |
