Fine Print: Sammy Davis Jr. looks out of a Manhattan window. New York City, USA, 1959 Size:16 x 20 in (40 x 50 cm) Nicaragua: June 1978–July 1979 formsBurt Glinn photographed the Beat generation in their natural habitats in New York and San Francisco from 1957 to 1960. His documentation reflects a spontaneity inherent to the Beat philosophy: arms flail, music plays, people talk, eat, dance, paint. They are wrought with emotion and tension, and yet exude a calculated nonchalance. Pictured here is legendary singer and musician, Sammy Davis Jnr, as he looks out of his Manhattan apartment window in 1959.
