Skrebneski (1929 – 2020) was influenced by the black and white films he saw in his youth. ‘When I do a portrait, I still am thrilled when a momentary flashback of film stars in close-ups projects in my mind. They were always exciting, glamorous and big,’ he writes in the short introduction to this book.
