Rock and Pop Posters up for Sale in London - artdaily.com Excerpt: ... less well known area is Morrissey's own creative inspiration and direction over the teasingly suggestive imagery that so distinguished The Smiths' record sleeves and.....not so well known....posters. One of the most brilliantly conceived visual 'themes' in Pop history, appropriately for Morrissey "they suggest much but admit nothing". For 1987's single 'Sheila Take A Bow' the cover star was Andy Warhol's transvestite Factory 'Superstar' Candy Darling, in a shot from Warhol's 1971 'Women In Revolt'. Born James Lawrence Slattery, Candy was memorably immortalised in Lou Reed's 'Walk On The Wild Side'. One polemical exception was conceived for 1985's 'Meat Is Murder'. Morrissey took the famous image of the determinedly non-Aquarian young Vietnam 'grunt' (from Emile de Antonio's 1969 anti-war film 'In the Year of the Pig') whose helmet bore the words "Make War Not Love" and replaced them with a heartful message of his own. --- Posters at: http://www.rock-explosion.com/ http://www.rock-explosion.com/catpage1.html
