About the Item

NUMEBERED 4/15 , CAPTIONNED , SIGNED ON THE BACK BY RON GALELLA DURING HIS LIFETIME Ronald Edward Galella, known as Ron Galella, born January 10, 1931 in New York and died April 30, 2022 in Montville, New Jersey, was an American photographer, known for being the pioneer of the paparazzi in the sixties. ABOUT : The Times magazine conducted a filmed interview with the author of this shot, known for his many portraits of celebrities. As a paparazzi, he believes he did not invade Jackie Kennedy's privacy by following her. He explains in fact that she lent herself to the game and considered herself a public figure: she therefore accepted the voyeurism that went hand in hand with her status. The photographer met Jackie in 1967 at the Wildenstein gallery, located on Madison Avenue in New York. He describes it thus: "She had wide open eyes, whispered and did not give interviews, which accentuated her mystical and glamorous dimension. We wanted to know more about her. I knew her address and so I managed, at that time, to do lots of pictures of her." In 1971, Ron captured the shot known as Windblown Jackie. He says that at that time, the paparazzi were very free, they could change the angle quite easily to shoot the portrait of the stars without their knowledge, in order to show their most sincere expression. But it was also a period when the paparazzi were less intrusive: as soon as a personality asked him to stop taking their picture, Ron complied.
