About the Item

Brad Pitt for Rolling Stone by Mark Seliger. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and created by the artist. The collector gallery also provides the collector with a certificate of authenticity from the “It just felt better than anything else” “There’s nothing to talk about. I couldn’t just sit there and be pretty guy again… I think that dress looked pretty damn good” he said of the shoot. “Truthfully, I don’t know what the hell I was doing. It just felt better than anything else,” he reflected. The photo shoot was part of a broader effort by Pitt to redefine his public persona and demonstrate his versatility as an actor and an individual. The public reaction to the shoot was mixed. Traditional media mocked the photos, and many viewed it as a bold but confusing statement. The shoot was seen as controversial because it challenged conventional ideas about masculinity and femininity. At the time, gender fluidity and breaking gender norms were not widely discussed topics for people of Pitt’s social status in Hollywood. Whilst there were obviously many before him who had made careers of challenging these gender ideals, for a straight man in his position, the appearance of Pitt in the shoot defied the social expectations of the actor. From the Olympus of the music industry to the Oscar portrait studio - Mark Seliger's oeuvre is a tribute to art and pop culture in modern America. Starting as a magazine photographer who went on to shoot over 100 Rolling Stone covers, Seliger is known for his meticulously planned portraits. Whether highly conceptual or intuitive, his photographs of David Bowie, Nirvana, or the Rolling Stones radiate an intellectual coolness. Seliger's portraits walk the fine line between hyper-reality and surrealism, revealing a sense of honesty that's unique in celebrity photography. His work stands out for combining technical precision with an almost painterly attention to composition and lighting.
