Description:
"The most stupendous rock and roll picture book ever assembled" - USA Today.
"Blinds and Shutters is one of those books that will both appreciate and be appreciated... It is an astounding new book" - The Washington Post.
In an overwhelming response to one of the last wishes of the photographer Michael Cooper, Blinds & Shutters is the result of five years' international research & close collaboration with 93 well-known contributors. It is a mind-expanding journey through the 60s, and has been internationally acclaimed as the definitive cult chronicle of that decade.
Photographer Michael Cooper worked with leading musicians (The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Marianne Faithfull, Eric Clapton), artists (Francis Bacon, Andy Warhol, Peter Blake & David Hockney) & writers (William Burroughs, Jean Genet & Allen Ginsberg).
His intimate images & candid portraits of their lives are lovingly recorded in this leather bound masterpiece. With comments & recollections by friends & associates and forewords by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, this book offers a unique opportunity to experience the era through the eyes & minds of its key players.
"The Subjects of my book are not just faces I have photographed but people I have worked with, or become involved with on a very personal level. This is why I prefer to think of this book not just as my own, but a collective work." - Michael Cooper
