David Bowie Art Prints

 

Regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20^th century, David Bowie continues to be one of the most recognisable musicians the Great Britain has ever produced.

It’s easy to see why people still have such love for him! You perhaps already have all the albums, memorable things and homeware with his photo or name.

Here are some David Bowie art prints that you can like:

 

 

David Bowie was more than a just musician in the traditional sense. Bowie was a showman! Look at his experimentation with clothing, other artistic forms, and of course his alter ego Ziggy Stardust to see that Bowie brought a new dimension to popular music.

He expanded the parameters of what music could be and how it could be heard and viewed. His 1972 Top of The Pops appearance is regarded as being one of the most important landmarks in music, with the first materialization of Ziggy Stardust performing causing an explosion in glam worldwide and transforming the idea of live performances. 

David Bowies impact on the music industry means that even to this day he is one of the best-selling artists of all time, with him selling over a 100million records worldwide during his lifetime. His music success not only got him inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but Rolling Stone magazine also placed him among its list of 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, with them also naming him the ‘Greatest Rock Star Ever’ following his death in 2016.

‘He was the Nazz’ by Helen Green and ‘David’ by Wallace Elizabeth are two designs which show David Bowie in all his glory. On Artwow.co there are a lot of David Bowie art prints and gifts related to this artist: coffee mugs, dinner plates, cushions, phone cases or many more.

 

 

 

However, Bowie made just as much of an impact in his other creative experiments as he did in his music career. He played several leading roles in films, including the cult classic ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth’ which was released in 1976.

The movie was Bowie’s first starring role and still has a strong following due to it being considered one of the most important pieces of science fiction cinema ever created, and one of the director’s, Nicolas Roeg, best films.

Even when presented with Bowie designs that are playful, we instantly recognise who they are representing without having to look at the name of the design.

However, the one look Bowie will always be remembered for is his universally recognised lightning bolt from the ‘Aladdin Sane’ Album cover. The 1973 cover portrait is one of the most famous images and one that has been replicated by artists for years. In the striking cover David Bowie is seen with his red cropped millet and pale white complexion juxtaposed with a vivid red and blue lightning bold slashed down from his forehead to the right side of his face.

Although David Bowie may no longer be with us, his legacy will be one that lives on forever! His works, both musically and beyond, will continue to be a multi-generational influence that pushes living fearlessly with experimentation, innovation and reinvention.
