Sonny and Cher, taken in the pool in 1966 by Art Kane
Photographed at Sonny and Cher’s Beverly Hills residence in 1966 for the McCall’s magazine photo essay ‘Teen Idols’, Art Kane strapped on scuba gear and weighted himself to stand on the bottom of their swimming pool equipped with an underwater camera as they dove in for him again and again, until that one click that captured a slice of perfection. Rock and Roll, celebrity, fashion, concept and humor all rolled into one frame. And pre-dating Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind' by 25 years. Pure Art Kane
