Description
Book SynopsisOver the course of seventeen years, award-winning photographer Sandro Miller and inimitable actor John Malkovich combined their larger-than-life personas and talents to produce a series of portraits and films, most notably those that reconstruct the most iconic images in photographic history, in their Homage series. Others in the collection here capture the genius and range of Malkovich''s acting ability in distinctive portraits as well as in film works. For lovers of the arts, photography, and John Malkovich, this book is indispensable.

Here are representations of the likes of Annie Leibowitz''s image of Yoko Ono and John Lennon; Bert Stern''s photographs of Marilyn Monroe, and
