Dick Bagley

Not on view
Richard Bagley (1920–1961) was a Greenwich Village documentary cinematographer. Two years after sitting for this portrait he came to prominence for his camerawork on Sidney Meyer's film The Quiet One (1948) and Lionel Rogosin's On the Bowery (1956). Neel captured the sensitivity and melancholy of the twenty-six-year-old Bagley by focusing on his deep-set eyes with their dark shadows and his attenuated right hand.
