The first career retrospective of the Los Angeles photographer George Rodriguez. Since the 1950s Rodriguez has quietly documented multiple social worlds in California and beyond that had never been displayed together, a rare mix of Hollywood and Chicano L.A., film premieres and farmworker strikes, album covers and street scenes, celebrity portraits and civil rights marches. Raised in South Los Angeles, he led something of a double life through the 1960s and 70s: working for film studios, record labels and magazines such as Tiger Beat, processing film for Hollywood photographers and shooting countless pictures of the era's biggest music and film stars, while also photographing the movements and protests that were exploding on the streets, among them the East Los Angeles Walkouts, the Chicano Moratorium, the United Farm Workers and the Sunset Strip riots. Double Vision explores both worlds alongside many other urban scenes, from L.A. gang graffiti and boxing to early hip-hop. A student of Sid Avery and a contemporary of Dennis Hopper, Rodriguez is one of the great visual documentarians of Los Angeles and of the cultural complexities of Mexican-American life. The book was assembled by Rodriguez himself with the scholar and writer Josh Kun.
