Stanley Kubrick’s 1949 photographs of Chicago

Stanley Kubrick Chicago State Street 1949
Stanley Kubrick, Chicago 1949

Via Flavorwire: “Before A Clockwork Orange, Lolita and Dr. Strangelove, director Stanley Kubrick worked as a photojournalist for Look magazine, supplementing his wages by hustling chess at Washington Square Park. A poor student and a talented photographer, Kubrick brushed off his forced experience with formal education and went for the goal. He freelanced for Look while still in high school before being hired on permanently. In the summer of 1949, the magazine sent Kubrick to the Windy City to shoot for the story ‘Chicago City of Contrast.'”

Check out the 15 photos on view, and note the eerie foreshadowing of images from future Kubrick films.

From the NamingĀ & Branding Manifesto, number 6: Language…is capable of being influenced, molded, formed, deformed and reformed before our eyes and ears. It is a mutant made to be torn asunder and reconfigured.
