Críticas
'They made dispersive prisms sexy with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, transformed Peter Gabriel into Vitruvian Man - and Mick Jagger into a goat ... Hipgnosis turned the art of the album sleeve upside down for the biggest names in rock' - Guardian 'With a wealth of recollections and work-in-progress materials, rather than ruin the magic, 'Hipgnosis Portraits' is further affirmation of what wondrous things these works of art remain' - Record Collector 'A lavish celebration of the photography that fed into the record sleeve fantasies of Aubrey Powell, Storm Thorgerson and Peter Christopherson, aka rock 'n' roll design house Hipgnosis ... presenting unearthed snaps and the fascinating stories behind them' - Mojo 'Many of the portraits here are technically adept - and many are previously unpublished - but their real value lies in the way they provide a portal into the enchanted world of Hipgnosis's cover art' - Creative Review 'A time capsule of an unrepeatable decade' - Esquire Weekly
Reseña del editor
In just fifteen years, Hipgnosis (Storm Thorgerson, Aubrey Po Powell and Peter Christopherson) established themselves as the most important design collective in music history. Their innovative cover art defines the albums of the biggest names of the late 1960s, 70s and early 80s: AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Peter Gabriel, The Police, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, T. Rex, Wings, Yes and XTC, to name just a few. Their iconic designs including Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon and Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy grace a staggering number of major releases. Their boundary-breaking conceptual approach earned them five Grammy nominations for package design, and their influence today can be seen in all creative fields from advertising to fashion. This book is divided into two main sections: Part I, 'Imagination', tells the story behind the cover artwork from germination through to the final sleeve design, supported by a wide array of archival materials and text from Aubrey Powell. Part II, 'Realization', showcases the band portraits themselves, whether album covers or otherwise, in beautiful, large-scale reproductions. Both sections are arranged alphabetically and cross-referenced throughout.

Summary:"At the zenith of the rock era, Hipgnosis (Storm Thorgerson, Aubrey 'Po' Powell and, later, Peter Christopherson) established themselves as the most important design collective in music history. Their innovative cover art defines the albums of the biggest names of the late 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s; AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Peter Gabriel, The Police, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney & Wings, Yes and The Who, to name just a few. Their iconic designs including Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon . grace a staggering number of major releases. In rejecting the posed, conventional band photography of the day and embracing the possibilities of the vinyl gatefold format, they changed album design forever and created a vast array of sublime portraits. Packed with archival riches from lost sessions, shoots, and mock-ups, Hipgnosis Portraits is narrated throughout by Po the last living member of the game-changing triumvirate . This book is divided into two main sections: Part I, 'Imagination', tells the story behind the cover shoots from germination through to the final sleeve design, supported by a wide array of archival materials; Part II, 'Realization', showcases the band portraits themselves in beautiful, large-scale reproductions"--Publisher's description.
