Items related to Linda McCartney's Life in Photography
This title shows the world through Linda's lens. This is a retrospective of Linda McCartney's life and photography. In 1967, 26-year-old Linda Eastman was in the process of becoming one of the most sought-after photographers in New York. Her intimate, informal shots of the "Rolling Stones", "Jimi Hendrix", "The Who", "Warren Beatty", and "Janis Joplin" had already featured in magazines like "Town and Country" and "Rolling Stone" when she met Paul McCartney while on assignment in London. A year later, she gave up her New York career and moved to London to become Linda McCartney and spend the rest of her life with Paul. For the next 30 years, until her untimely death at the age of 56, she devoted herself to her family, vegetarianism, animal rights, and photography. From her early rock'n'roll portraits, through the final years of the Beatles, via touring with Wings to raising four children with Paul, Linda captured her whole world on film. Her shots range from spontaneous family pictures to studio sessions with Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, as well as artists Willem de Kooning and Gilbert and George. Always unassuming and fresh, her work displays a warmth and feeling for the precise moment that captures the essence of any subject. Whether photographing her children, celebrities, animals, or a fleeting moment of everyday life, she did so without pretension or artifice. This retrospective volume - a brilliant selection from her entire archive of over 200,000 images - is produced in close collaboration with Paul McCartney and their children. As such, it is a moving personal journal and a lasting testament to a subtle and versatile photographer.
