The 15 Best David Bowie Books | Vogue

First, there was "Space Oddity" and "Changes" at the swimming pool, then "Diamond Dogs," "Rebel Rebel," "Young Americans" and "Fame" throughout grade school. L'estetica che ne deriva è dunque che David Bowie, come altri artisti, ma forse più di tutti, ha lavorato sulla sua natura e, grazie a quell'inquietudine e a quella sensibilità che muovono tutti gli artisti, si è fatto egli stesso opera d'arte, prima ancora di produrla, in quel mix di progettazione, costruzione, messa in scena, trasgressione, raffinatezza e, indiscutibilmente, ὕβϱις che lo ha via via definito - equilibrio faticoso di potenza e atto. This book, published to accompany the blockbuster international exhibition launched at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, is the only volume that grants access to Bowie’s personal archive of performance costumes, ephemera, and original design artwork by the artist, bringing it together to present a completely new perspective on his creative work and collaborations. The streets are alive with mods and rockers, playboys and good-time girls, all revelling in the blossoming artistic, creative and cultural energies of the decade.The informed, incisive text and picture captions are also littered with quotes from David himself, compiled from various media interviews conducted over the years, as well as his chats with Crankin’ Out, which appear in print for the very first time. Fortunately, when Bowie left us in January 2016 to meet the starman in the sky, he left not only his legacy but also a lengthy book list. Anche a distanza di oltre un anno non c'è in tutto questo dramma o patetismo, ma solo una densità e una qualità artistica e intellettuale meritevolissime, e va da sé una rivalutazione complessiva dell'intera sua produzione di cui solo il tempo darà la giusta misura.

David Bowie Is by Victoria Broackes | Goodreads

Whatever, his time in Germany and the music it sparked is explored in Thomas Jerome Seabrook’s Bowie in Berlin (Jawbone, 2008), a mixture of biography and song-by-song analysis that authoritatively nails its subject matter: a time, as the author puts it, of “bingeing and purging, relapse and recovery” – and some of the most visionary work of Bowie’s career. In this intensely creative period, Bowie put together three classic albums — Low, “Heroes”, and Lodger — with collaborators who included Brian Eno, Robert Fripp, and Tony Visconti. Harrer’s depictions of the Dalai Lama’s Potala palace would shape Bowie’s 1967 “Silly Boy Blue,” the song of a dreaming monk in Lhasa. Here are a few books on David Bowie i have read and enjoyed, also here are books that members of our Facebook group have recommended.Rock’s camera caught more of the Ziggy legend than any other and followed Bowie into hotel rooms and dressing rooms, on the road and socialising with musicians and friends including Lou Reed, Iggy Pop and Mick Jagger. Here’s our pick of the best Bowie books for every person, occasion, and special interest—whether you’re merely interested in looking at some pictures or have committed yourself to a self-taught course in Advanced Bowie Studies. After all for his first few albums, each one came with an entirely new character for him to play about with. But I still like to delve deeper into his entire body of work so books like this become so invaluable to me. Questa scelta, che è il secondo aspetto che mi si offre, porta dei significati ulteriori, filosofici, metafisici, se vogliamo, e invece di questo si è parlato poco.

Strange fascination: The best David Bowie books

E siccome anch'io mi sono chiesta se qualcuno abbia fatto qualcosa di simile prima di lui, l'unico esempio che mi è sovvenuto è quello di Mishima, tra l'altro antitetico e per nulla paragonabile. For many fans, David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust era remains the most extraordinarily creative period in his career. When Bowie was cutting Scary Monsters in 1980, he had Dadaist artists on the brain, telling an interviewer that as the Dadaists had said art was dead in 1924, “what the hell can we do with it from there on”?Frayling doesn't think Bowie's music will outlive him, Kermode dismisses Peter Murphy and Suede as being pointless Bowie clones, and then there's Hoare who says that the closest figure to Bowie, culturally speaking, is William Blake. Harrer had lived in Tibet at a time when few Westerners had ever ventured there, and documented its last days as an independent kingdom before the Chinese conquest. What this volume lacks in monomania, it more than makes up for in more than 500 photos of immense breadth and depth. Bowie discovered Buddhism in the mid-1960s, befriending exiled Tibetan lamas in London and devouring Heinrich Harrer’s 1952 memoir.
