Although probably best known for his frontline documentary work in Chechnya, Stanley Greene began his professional career while still a student at The San Francisco Art Institute in the mid-seventies photographing the burgeoning punk scene.
SFAI was ground zero for the punk scene, and a lot of early punk bands were former art students, who would mix art and music. The Mutants, The Dills, Flipper, Crime, SVT, The Yanks, Tuxedo Moon, The Tubes, Los Lobos, The Avengers, Dead Kennedys and Romeo Void, U2. Many of them were students at the San Francisco Art Institute. Members of The Mutants and Romeo Void of course. Chris Isaac of Silver Tones, too, and Bonnie Hayes & The Wild Bunch – Bonnie Hayes, one of the coolest girls in the punk scene. I was surrounded by these rock bands, both punks and artists. Suddenly these groups wanted images.
The Western Front from the French publisher Andre Frere was designed by Teun van der Heijden who also designed Greene’s seminal book Black Passport. Item #14134
