On Easter Sunday in 1968, The Band stood together outside their now-iconic house in West Saugerties, New York — a modest pink home that would become legendary simply as “Big Pink.” Captured by Elliott Landy, this photograph shows the group just before the release of Music from Big Pink, the album that redefined American rock with its earthy, honest sound.

There’s a quiet unity in the image. No stage, no spotlight — just five musicians rooted in their surroundings, poised on the edge of musical history. Landy’s portrait captures the soul of The Band’s vision: grounded, timeless, and unmistakably real.

A Moment in Music History, Signed by the Eye Who Saw It

Every Elliott Landy print comes with this official backing — a record of its origin, location, materials, and legacy. It’s more than a print. It’s a documented piece of rock and roll history, captured through the lens of one of the era’s most iconic photographers. Printed on archival, 100% cotton rag paper and hand-signed by Elliott himself, each piece is a testament to the artist’s vision and the cultural moment it preserves.

Elliott Landy — The Eye of the Woodstock Generation

Elliott Landy was one of the first photographers to treat music photography as fine art — and the world followed. His iconic portraits of Bob Dylan (Nashville Skyline), The Band (Music From Big Pink, The Band), Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Van Morrison (Moondance), and Jim Morrison helped shape the visual identity of some of the most important records of the 20th century. As the official photographer of the 1969 Woodstock Festival, his work became inseparable from the ideals of the era — peace, rebellion, and raw creative freedom.
