The Dutch photographer Gijsbert Hanekroot (Brussels, 1945) began his career in 1969 and worked in the 1970s for magazines and newspapers. His career as a photojournalist aligns perfectly with the explosion of the rock scene, and he masterfully documented this golden age of music history — photographing many of the era’s greatest icons. Hanekroot aimed to capture images that revealed the person behind the musician. His attempt to express a deeper truth about his subjects resulted in portraits that are natural and intimate, relaxed and sincere.
The photographer is represented by, among others, Blitz Gallery, Tokyo; Blue Lotus Gallery, Hong Kong; Mondo Galeria, Madrid; Proud Galleries, London; ONO-Arte, Bologna; Munich; and Schiedam.
