David
Bowie: the
actor (oil on board)
Rock Art prints
Posed for by the
artist
in his Leiston garret (Hah! Garrett's of Leiston! In-joke for the East
Anglians),
this is a way of encapsulating the most notable of David Bowie's prime
period personae. From Thomas Jerome Newton (the character in The man who fell to earth),
to the
young American, Ziggy Stardust, Alladin Sane, The Thin White Duke and Just a Gigolo.
People think that
Madonna invented postmodern constant reinvention of the
image/'personality', but
Bowie was there way before. And making far superior music.
See also Siouxsie Sioux, The
Slits and The Rolling Stones.
