Reseña del editor:

Linda Mc Cartney prima di sposare Paul e dedicarsi alla famiglia, agli animali, al vegetarianesimo e continuare a fare fotografie, era stata una fotografa professionista. Nata a New York nel 1941 studiò storia dell'arte all' Università dell' Arizona prima di stabilirsi nella grande mela dove iniziò a fotografare sopratutto le rock star. Nel 1966 Linda riuscì ad entrare ad un evento molto esclusivo per i Rolling Stones su uno yacht sull' Hudson River; le sue foto fresche e naturali furono giudicate molto più belle di quelle dei fotografi ufficiali della band e la lanciarono nel mondo dello star system. Nel 1968 il suo ritratto di Eric Clapton fu scelto come copertina della rivista Rolling Stone, prima donna a ricevere un tale onore. Negli anni successivi fotografò tutti gli artisti più importanti quali Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Simon & Garfunkel, The Who, The Doors. Questo volume raccoglie una selezione del suo archivio ed è stato realizzato in stretta collaborazione con Paul McCartney e i suoi fgli. Costituisce una sorta di testimonianza del grande talento di Linda.

Biografía del autor:

Linda McCartney (nee Eastman) was born in New York in 1941. She took a photo course with Hazel Archer and studied art history at the University of Arizona before settling in New York City, where she began her photo career shooting rock portraits. Outside of her photography, which has been exhibited in over 50 galleries worldwide including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, the Bonni Benrubi Gallery, and the International Center of Photography, Linda McCartney is known for her passionate animal rights activism and her staunch vegetarianism. She wrote cookbooks and founded her own brand of frozen vegetarian meals, all the while raising a family, continuing to take photographs, and participating as a Wings band member alongside Paul. She died of breast cancer in 1998 at the age of 56. Annie Leibovitz has been a working photographer for forty years. She was the chief photographer for Rolling Stone and then the first contributing photographer for the revived Vanity Fair. In addition to her editorial work at Vanity Fair, and later at Vogue, she has created several award-winning advertising campaigns. She has been designated a Living Legend by the Library of Congress. Martin Harrison is a historian of art and photography and exhibitions curator. He worked with Linda McCartney on Roadworks (1996), Light from Within (2001), and her exhibitions at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television and the International Center of Photography. He has published widely on photography and, most recently, the paintings of Francis Bacon. Alison Castle received a BA in philosophy from Columbia University and an MA in photography and film from New York University (NYU/International Center of Photography masters program). She is the editor of titles on photography, film, and design, including Some Like it Hot and The Stanley Kubrick Archives.
