Allan Tannenbaum - Bermuda Shorts Print

By Outtake Gallery

Pausing for a moment, Devo relaxes in their comfortable Bermuda shorts to assess
the latest in fashion trends. Confident that fresh remains the band’s approach, Devo
knows that no hair tonic suggestion from a magazine can match their Groom ​‘n
Clean policy for proper maintenance of footwear and the scalp. Photographer Allan
Tannenbaum helped set the stage with a warm toned backdrop to accentuate the
color of their jerseys, featuring lighting that highlights the shiny black hair, belts
and shoes of the band. This print will look sharp on your wall.

17×22. Edition of 50.

Allan Tannenbaum has been photographing since the 1960s. After college he
gravitated to the nascent art scene in the SoHo district of Manhattan. When
the SoHo Weekly News commenced publication in 1973, Tannenbaum
became the Photo Editor and Chief Photographer. Tannenbaum relentlessly
covered the art world, music scene, politics, show business and nightlife.
The high point of this period was photographing John Lennon and Yoko Ono
nude in bed — the low point was the murder of John Lennon 10 days later.
Tannenbaum photographed Sid Vicious in handcuffs leaving the hotel room
where his girlfriend was dead. He took the cover photograph for Nelson
Mandela’s book Long Walk to Freedom. Devo used his photo for their album
cover on Duty Now for the Future. Tannenbaum got the biggest and most
dangerous story of his career just six blocks from his home – the terrorist
attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Tannenbaum
photographed the explosion of the second plane and Ground Zero between
tower collapses.
