Following her best-selling TASCHEN monograph Life in Photographs,
discover a more intimate and highly personal side of Linda
McCartney's photographic work in The Polaroid Diaries. The
collection focuses on McCartney's distinctive way of seeing the
world and her family, through charming and quirky portraits of Paul
McCartney and the couple's four children. We see them pulling faces
and in matching pajamas. We see James pouring water on himself, and
Mary and Stella playing dress-up. There's dancing, eating, horse
riding, and countless moments of everyday life on their farm in
Southern England. As Paul says in the introduction: "She would just
see things. Many of her photos, it's just that one click. You've
got to recognise when a great photo is happening in front of you.
And then you've got to snap it at exactly the right moment... And
she did that so many times that it always impressed me." The
Polaroid Diaries curates more than 200 of these "right" moments
from the early 1970s until the mid-1990s, along with a foreword by
Chrissie Hynde and an essay by art critic Ekow Eshun. The book also
features luminous landscapes across Scotland and Arizona, as well
as the odd celebrity, as the likes of Steve McQueen and Adam Ant
wander into the frame. Other pictures attest to her love of
animals, with compassionate images of cats, lambs, horses, and
hens. It's a pre-Instagram glimpse into the life of an
extraordinary family, a celebration of Linda's legacy as a fiercely
committed artist and of the instant magic of Polaroid film. Also
available in a signed Collector's Edition and in two limited Art
Editions, each with a print numbered and signed by Paul McCartney.
