Two bold-face named New Yorkers, Claes Oldenburg and Ivana Trump, passed this week, individuals who personified their respective areas of interest, one in the arts and the other in the art of public perception. Both were among the iconic subjects of photographer Jack Mitchell’s camera. Jack Mitchell (1925 – 2013) photographed artists, dancers, film and theatre performers, musicians and writers in more than 6,000 individual sessions. His work frequently appeared on the cover of major magazines as well as in newspapers.
