Inhaltsangabe

[English]
Keith Richards: A Life In Pictures charts the fascinating life of the incomparable Rolling Stones guitarist through more than 250 high-quality photographs in stunning black and white and vibrant colour.
From the early years of The Rolling Stones to the present day, Richards' antics have been documented by legendary photographers including Jim Marshall, Terry O'Neill, Gered Mankowitz, Michael Cooper, Ken Regan, Neal Preston and Mark Seliger. From his sharply-dressed, baby-faced look to his epitome-of-cool piratical dress, Richards has been shot by the lens thousands of times. A Life In Pictures collects the most candid, revealing, intriguing, artistic and fantastic of these pictures, compiling them into the must-have rock 'n' roll book of the year.
Since many of Keith's adventures have become rock myth and legend, a book documenting such fleeting moments is an exciting prospect. A man who has throughout the years been a beat group guitarist, busted by the police, a global megastar, a Glastonbury legend, a film star and even a Louis Vuitton model is guaranteed to have had inspired some beautiful portraits and photographs from the past half century.
A fascinating book both artistically and biographically, Keith Richards: A Life In Pictures is a visual exploration of the guitarist of one of the biggest bands ever, an almost supernatural superstar.

Reseña del editor

From the early days of The Rolling Stones, with a relatively baby-faced 'Keef' sporting a hounds-tooth jacket, to his heroic piratical look of the present day, rock's indestructible hero has been photographed by many people over half a century. Featuring more than 300 photographs in colour and black-and-white.Among those who took the pictures in this book are legendary photographers Jim Marshall, Terry O'Neill, Deborah Feingold, Neil Preston and Mark Seliger.If many of Keith Richards' adventures have passed into folklore, never before has there been quite such a comprehensive collection of portraits and candid shots collected to match the passing moments: police busts, global superstardom, a legendary Glastonbury set, a satisfying appearance in the Pirates Of The Caribbean movie franchise and an unlikely 2008 advertising stint as a lifestyle icon for Louis Vuitton, as photographed by Annie Leibowitz.Beautifully produced and elegantly designed, Keith Richards: A Life In Pictures is simply the must-have book of the year.
