Text Box: ROY SCHATT: 1909-2002
Roy Schatt began his photo
career in the late 40’s and
early 50’s when his portraits
of the cast members of  Summer and Smoke in the Circle-in-the-Square-Theatre went on display in the theatre lobby and were published by Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue.   He shot many luminaries of the times, and developed a rapport and kinship with actors.  From this, Lee Strasberg named him photographer for the famed
Actor’s Studio in New York.

During this time he was able
to photograph many person-
alities,  including many sessions with James Dean shortly before his tragic death. His friendship with the actor  resulted in photographs that are undoubtedly the crowning achievement of Schatt’s wonderful career. Many of these photographs become  the most popular images
ever taken of Dean.  

Our large collection includes
many of the famous Dean
shots, as well as extra-ordinary images of Marilyn Monroe, Steve McQueen, Tennessee Williams,  Miles Davis, etc.  We also have several cityscapes by the artist.
