About this photograph
The Who wrapped in the Union Jack in Morningside Park in New York City. This photo was used for the movie poster of their 1978 documentary "The Kids are Alright" and the cover of its soundtrack.
During Kane's shoot with The Who, two neighborhood children came along after school to play in the park, and Kane asked them to sit in and watch the band. Their clothes match the tones of the flag perfectly.

About the photographer
Art Kane was one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century. Kane's work encompassed fashion, editorial, celebrity portraiture, travel, and nudes with a relentless and innovative eye. Kane pioneered photographic storytelling by investigating his image with metaphor and poetry, effectively turning photography into illustration. In 1958, Kane assembled the greatest legends in jazz and shot what became one of his most famous images, Harlem 1958.
In the 1960s and 1970s, he photographed, among others, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Janis Joplin, the Doors, Aretha Franklin and Bob Dylan. In his lifetime Kane was honored by almost every photo-design organization in the United States and his contributions to photography continue to resonate to this day.
