“Stu was more than just the bass player – he was like our art director”

George Harrison

 

“He (Stuart) was an outstanding loss to Liverpool and to English painting, and over and above the merit of his pictures he has a special significance as somebody whose burning creativity switched from art into pop music and then back again. He showed the way.”

John Willett

 

Stuart Sutcliffe (1940–62) was more than just ‘the fifth Beatle’. He was the original bass player and the creative catalyst behind their style and image (from creating the name of the band with Lennon to inspiring the original ‘mop top’). With contributions from Stuart’s lover and the acclaimed photographer Astrid Kirchherr, eminent art historian Donald Kuspitt and writer John Savage  (author of England’s Dreaming: Sex Pistols and Punk Rock)  among others, as well as previously unseen images of Stuart and The Beatles, Stuart Sutcliffe: A Retrospective provides a highly personal and visually stunning celebration of the man, his music and his art.

 

32 colour plates and 50 b/w illustrations and photographs
