Overview

"Yul Brynners reputation as one of the twentieth century's most charismatic and versatile actors is irrefutable. But his talent as a photographer has been relatively unknown and unacknowledged. ""YUL"" will change that, presenting Brynners photographic oeuvre for the first time in a comprehensive and lavish way in book form. Brynners subjects are some of the pivotal figures of cinematic and stage history, and his talent lies in capturing these people and particularly actors (those best at disguising their true selves) at ease, both on and off set: Charlton Heston as Moses in ""The Ten Commandments"", Audrey Hepburn in a gondola in ""Venice"", Elizabeth Taylor relaxing poolside. ""YUL"" also contains candid shots of Brynners family. Comprising a selection made from 8,000 images and press cuttings edited by Brynners daughter Victoria Brynner, ""YUL"" is divided into four volumes: ""Lifestyle"", ""Life on Set, 1956"" (the pivotal year of ""The King and I"", ""The Ten Commandments"" and ""Anastasia""), and ""Man of Style"" which contains portraits of Brynner by photographers such as Richard Avedon, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Inge Morath. Published on the twenty-fifth anniversary of Brynners death, ""YUL"" is a celebration of Brynners photographic legacy and a complex portrait of the man himself. Yul Brynner (1920-1985) was an actor, director, musician and photographer. One of Hollywoods most respected performers, Brynner is best known for his depiction on stage and screen of King Mongkut in ""The King and I"", for which he won both Academy and Tony Awards. Brynners other films include ""The Buccaneer"" (1958), ""The Magnificent Seven"" (1960) and ""Westworld"" (1973).
