Philippe Margotin | David Bowie
David Bowie: The Artist, the Albums, the Music by Philippe Margotin is a richly illustrated exploration of one of modern music's most inventive and transformative artists. Spanning almost fifty years of fearless creativity, it follows Bowie from the young Davie Jones through the extraordinary succession of sounds and personas that made him a cultural icon – from Ziggy Stardust, Halloween Jack and the Thin White Duke to the Berlin years and the haunting final statement of Blackstar.
Album by album, the book explores Bowie's restless experimentation with glam rock, soul, funk, electronic music, art rock and the avant-garde, while also examining his acting, performances and celebrated tours. Illustrated with hundreds of colour and black-and-white photographs, including rarely seen images, the volume features a foreword by music writer and record producer Richard Morton Jack and an interview with composer, producer and sound mixer Sefi Carmel. Comprehensive yet highly visual, it is a compelling portrait of an artist for whom reinvention became an art form in itself.
