The late actor Dennis Hopper, best recognized for his character roles in Easy Rider and Blue Velvet, was considered to be one of Hollywood’s most talented rebels—but off the screen, his knack for photography has been equally as captivating and enlightening to consume.

With a focus on black and white portraits, his works documented the 1960s and its pillar movements (think the civil rights movement, the blossoming art scene in L.A., and Andy Warhol’s Factory). Now, Hopper’s photos are taking center stage in a new book compiled by Taschen, titled Dennis Hopper: Photographs 1961—1967. Available now, the collection of photography spans a variety of events of that time, from Hopper’s snaps on film sets and parties to political marches. Below, see a highlight reel of Hopper’s best works, including shots of not-to-be-missed ‘60s icons.
