Breaking Stones

Autor Terry O'Neill (photographer) , Gered Mankowitz Editat de Uprise Click
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 mar 2016

Explorăm aici efervescența anilor '60, o perioadă în care The Rolling Stones treceau de la statutul de tineri rebeli în cluburile din Soho la cel de fenomene globale. Volumul Breaking Stones nu este doar un album de artă, ci o capsulă a timpului care documentează transformarea vizuală a trupei sub lentila a doi fotografi legendari: Terry O'Neill și Gered Mankowitz. Descoperim o estetică brută, dominată de cele 186 de cadre alb-negru care surprind acea „misterioasă obrăznicie” pe care O'Neill a intuit-o încă de la primele lor apariții. Experiența de răsfoire este una imersivă și tactilă, formatul hardback protejând o arhivă impresionantă de foi de contact, interviuri și articole originale din Record Mirror sau Evening Standard. Suntem de părere că forța acestui volum rezidă în contrastul dintre cadrele regizate, precum faimoasa sesiune din Mason's Yard, și instantaneele din turneul american din 1965, unde oboseala și entuziasmul se amestecă pe chipurile membrilor trupei. Pe raftul de artă, alături de The Rolling Stones. Updated Edition de Reuel Golden, acest album se distinge prin focalizarea strictă pe anii de formare, oferind o perspectivă mult mai intimă și mai puțin filtrată de aura de „super-vedete” de mai târziu. În contextul operei lui Gered Mankowitz, Breaking Stones completează viziunea începută în Goin' Home With The Rolling Stones '66, însă aduce un plus de context editorial prin includerea memoriilor semnate de Mick Jagger sau Keith Richards. Este o lucrare care celebrează nu doar muzica, ci și rolul vital pe care fotografia l-a jucat în construcția identității rock-and-roll.

Despre autor

Gered Mankowitz este unul dintre cei mai respectați fotografi de muzică din lume, recunoscut pentru stabilirea standardului vizual al anilor '60. La doar 19 ani, el a devenit fotograful oficial al trupei The Rolling Stones, însoțindu-i în turnee și realizând coperți de albume emblematice. Terry O'Neill, contemporanul său, a fost un maestru al portretului, surprinzând celebritățile secolului XX într-o manieră naturală și carismatică. Împreună, cei doi au definit imaginea publică a generației rock, lucrările lor fiind astăzi expuse în galerii prestigioase precum Saatchi Gallery.


Descriere scurtă

- A brilliant new book with photos by Terry O'Neill and Gered Mankowitz that captures the youth, the times and the spirit of The Rolling Stones' formative early years. - Breaking Stones coincides with the 2016 opening of Exhibitionism - the first major exhibit dedicated to the Rolling Stones, at London's Saatchi Gallery - Featuring many rare and unseen photos, contact sheets, and original articles from the Record Mirror (1963), Evening Standard (1964) and Detroit Free Press (1965) - Include quotes from Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Bill Wyman, and full interviews with Terry O'Neill & Gered Mankowitz "I was impressed by The Stones. They were dressed casually, had mischief in them and were different to other bands." -- Terry O'Neill In July 1962, a group of young men played a gig at The Marquee Club on Oxford Street, London. They called themselves 'The Rollin' Stones' and little did they know they would soon be making music history. This brilliant new book captures the youth, the times and the spirit of The Stones' formative early years. And documenting 1963-1965 were two young photographers just starting out in their careers. Terry O'Neill, aged just 25, had a few years' experience photographing musicians and knew that this group had the same magic as another British phenomenon that just recently started to chart, The Beatles. Gered Mankowitz was a mere 19 when he picked-up his camera and joined the band on stage in 1965. His first shoot, the now famous Mason's Yard session, was so fruitful, Gered was asked to tag along on tour to America. Between these two legendary photographers, they document the band's beginnings and these indelible images are forever placed in music's consciousness. The photography throughout this book is embellished with various memories and interviews, celebrating the early days and giving an insight into what it must have felt like to go from a small club in Soho with no record deal to touring the world a few years later with a number one record. Terry O'Neill and Gered Mankowitz, two of the most respected, collected and exhibited photographers in the world were sitting in the front-row. 2016 is set to be a huge year for the Rolling Stones, as London's Saatchi Gallery hosts the first ever major exhibition dedicated to the band: Exhibitionism, a career-spanning, museum-style display of Stones artifacts and memorabilia. ACC Editions' publication of this book is due to coincide with the opening of this ground-breaking exhibition.

Notă biografică

Terry O’Neill was one of the world’s most collected photographers with work hanging in national art galleries and private collections worldwide. O’Neill began his career at the birth of the 1960s when he realized that youth culture was a breaking news story on a global scale and began chronicling the emerging faces of film, fashion and music who would go on to define the Swinging Sixties. By 1965 he was being commissioned by the biggest magazines and newspapers in the world. He photographed The Beatles and The Rolling Stones when they were still struggling young bands in 1963 and went on to capture iconic names such as Audrey Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, David Bowie, Elton John, The Who, Faye Dunaway, Brigitte Bardot and countless others. His images have adorned historic rock albums, movie posters and international magazine covers. Gered Mankowitz is an English photographer who focused his career in the music industry. He has worked with a large number of well-known artists, from The Rolling Stones to Jimi Hendrix, and many of his photographs became the covers of these artists’ most successful albums. He has worked in all divisions of the photography industry including fashion, music, advertising, news, and private photography. He has worked from his own gallery in North London for the past 22 years.
