I just watched an interesting documentary about this photographer/artist.
In his early career as a graphic artist he designed album covers for some famous jazz albums. He later became a portrait photographer and visual artist. It seems he made a number of portraits of famous persons in the 70s that are have only come to light within the last few years, because he was "too busy" to make prints for gallery shows!
I was not familiar with Maggs name before seeing this documentary, although I know I've seen his work before. I wonder how many other photographers and artists there are our there whose work we've become familiar with, but we don't know their names?
