The kind of fame and success The Rolling Stones have achieved in
their almost 60-year career is without parallel; their most famous
riffs and catchiest lyrics are indelibly engraved in our collective
memory. With their mesmerizing on- and off-stage presence, the
Stones set the standard for how a rock band should sound, pose,
pout, and behave. They were the first to instinctively understand
that what you looked like was as important as the music, and that
photography had a vital role in promoting that image. "The clothes
and the hair are always impeccable," describes author Luc Sante.
"They were playing themselves, but with such consistent finesse you
knew they were instinctively aware of the camera and how good they
will look in the photos." Unsurprisingly many of the greatest
photographers in the history of the medium wanted to take their
picture. Produced in close collaboration with the band, this
updated edition charts the Stones' remarkable history and
outrageously cool lifestyle in over 450 pages of photographs and
illustrations, gathered from archives all over the world.
Unprecedented access to the Rolling Stones' own archives in New
York and London adds an equally extraordinary, more private side to
their story. For Mick, Keith, Charlie, and Ronnie this is their
official photographic record. Features: Over 450 pages of
incredible images from some of the world's greatest photographers,
including David Bailey, Annie Leibovitz, Cecil Beaton, Anton
Corbijn, Herb Ritts, Albert Watson, Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle,
Peter Beard, Helmut Newton, Bent Rej, Gered Mankowitz, and Norman
Parkinson. Essays from award-winning writers David Dalton, Waldemar
Januszczak, and Luc Sante Appendix including the Stones in the
media, a Stones timeline, a discography, and photographers'
biographies
