I.C. (Chuck) Rapoport is presenting a suite of his photos on the theme of ‘Love’ through May 29 at deyermond art + books, 2801 Main St. in Santa Monica. In this carefully pruned exhibit, which includes 15 iconic images being shown for the first time but shot in the 10-year period preceding the Summer of Love (1959-1969), Rapoport fulfills his calling: as a champion, a friend and a lover of humanity. From photographs of revolutionaries that scream, ‘I LOVE MY COUNTRY’ to photos of anonymous couples which whisper, ‘I love you,’ Rapoport takes on all comers in his quest for capturing love. Viewing all the images together, one is willing to believe that Rapoport must be intimate friends with every one of his subjects’they inhabit his photographic frames so comfortably, so honestly and so lovingly, even though they are all anonymously captured. A longtime resident of Pacific Palisades, Rapoport worked for Paris Match magazine as well as The Saturday Evening Post, Life, Sports Illustrated, National Geographic and the New York Times.
