James Dean in "La fureur de vivre" (Rebel Without a Cause), circa 1955
Digital color sorting
Dimensions: 28.4 x 20.2 cm
Note: Emblematic image from Nicholas Ray's 1955 film, the founding work of the James Dean myth. Wearing his famous red jacket, which became an absolute symbol of the rebellious youth of the 1950s, the actor plays Jim Stark, a tormented character who would become an intergenerational icon.
The photography captures the saturated aesthetic of the original Technicolor and the dramatic tension of the film. The nonchalant attitude, the hands in the pockets, the posture leaning against the car, all contribute to the construction of an image that has become archetypal of post-war American culture.
