Tag game!!

I was tagged by @fanaticfangirl2602

Ok so first of all I want to apologize for how obscenely late this is.

Question Tag. Rules: always post the rules. Answer the questions given to you and write 10 questions of your own. Tag 10 people.

Your questions for me were...

What’s something you’re proud of?

Something I’m proud of is surviving living in my household for the past nineteen and a half years.

Do you have something that never fails to make you happy?

Quality beef jerky, Disney, Chicago-made pizza, and a Chicago style hot dog

Any allergies?

Nope. I used to be allergic to pet dander thought.

Are you adventurous?

Depends on what’s the adventure. I have my limits on what I’m willing to do.

Who’s a character you relate to?

Now that’s a list. Manolo Sanchez from The Book of Life, Moana, Hercules from Disney’s Hercules, the circusfolk in The Greatest Showman, Jim Lake from Trollhunters, to name a few

Do you have any pets? If not, do you want a pet?

I have an almost 3 year old yellow lab named Toews (pronounced like taze) and she’s the most adorable pupper I know.

What’s your favorite kind of weather?

When the Sun is out, there’s a gentle breeze, and it’s not too hot or cold

Is there anything coming up that you’re looking forward to?

Going back to my college in two weeks.

How’s your day going?

It’s going well! Pretty average day so far.

Are you aware that you’re a super awesome and amazing person?

Awwwwww!! Thank you so much!!!

My questions are:

Netflix or Hulu?

If you could master one skill instantly, what would it be?

Tropes/cliches that you enjoy seeing in the media?

Dream vacation?

Favorite type of food? (ex. italian, bar-b-que, etc.)

Favorite movie?

What’s one thing you love to do when you’re bored?

Can you whistle or play an instrument?

Did you have a good holiday season?

Favorite fast food place?

Hello, my lovely, loyal readers! Since I haven’t been regularly posting, I figured I’d give y’all an update on my reading escapades!

P.S. Did any of y’all suddenly get that song, “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes stuck in your heads?!

Sweet Reads

If you’re a fan of The Baby-sitters Club like me, you’ve absolutely GOT to check out the Graphix editions by Raina Telgemeier!

I read the third in the series, Mary Anne Saves the Day, and adored it! The Graphix editions totally take me back to the era of Ann M. Martin, the BSC creator.

I also adored and was greatly entertained by Kevin Kwan’s Crazy Rich Asians! This book is so freaking good and I’m stoked to read the next two books in the series, China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems!

The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan is a precious, heartwarming read. While a departure from the genres I generally stick to, this story really grabbed me. I highly recommend Colgan’s novel!

Rereading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s childhood classic, Little House on the Prairie, also took me back in time. I’ve made it a mission to reread the entire Little House series this year and I’m so glad I decided to undertake this wonderful journey!

I’m a sucker for a good graphic novel, especially anything by Brian K. Vaughan, who is author of both the Saga and Paper Girls series, both of which I love. The most recent book I read was Paper Girls, Vol. 4 and it was awesome! I’m dying for volume five to come out – I think I have to wait until this fall!

Sour Reads

*A little note – the Sour Reads column typically includes books I rate three stars or less*

For a new book club I’m in, Read Between the Covers Book Club, [please join us!], I listened via Audible to Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu. I enjoyed Mathieu’s story, but I didn’t totally fall in love with it. Review to come!

I’m really disappointed, devastated really, to report that Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli was simply middle of the road for me. I did like the book; I’m super excited to read Albertalli’s follow-up, Leah on the Offbeat!

Currently – In Books

At this time, I’ve got four books on my plate! I’m reading the beautiful – so far – novel by Wally Lamb, I Know This Much is True, the Louisa May Alcott classic, Little Women, The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and Peoples Temple by Jeff Guinn, and I’m listening to The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X.R. Pan.

I’m reading Pan’s lovely tale for the book club I mentioned above, Read Between the Covers Book Club, and I chose to read Lamb’s and Alcott’s books for a reading event I’m co-hosting, which I’ll be mentioning later in this post. I picked the Jonestown book because honestly, cults and their leaders are intriguing – in a blows-my-mind sort of way!

Welcome to My Library!

Looking back over my book purchases these past couple months has astonished me – I’ve gotten a LOT more books than I thought! 😀 I guess I’ve discovered many more bookish resources!

I’m really looking forward to reading everything I’ve obtained – especially the remainder of the Geek Girls series by Holly Smale!

Since I obtained books from quite a few sources – and because I’m in the mood to list them 😀 – I’m going to break down my acquisitions by where I got them!

Kindle

An awfully cute and entertaining-looking book, Color Me Murder by Krista Davis, was added to my Kindle collection, as was Let’s Talk About Love [super excited for this one] by Claire Kann.

I also added I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L. Sanchez, Tamora Pierce’s In the Hand of the Goddess [I love this series], The Last of August by Brittany Cavallaro, and Wonder Woman: Warbringer by Leigh Bardugo [which I got for $1.99!].

Kobo

Kobo offered some great deals recently and I got my hands on Kate Carlisle’s A High-End Finish, which I had been continuously renewing through the library, thus my giving up and buying it.

What to Say Next by Julie Buxbaum is another recent personal library addition. I’ve been very attracted to this book, I think because of the adorable cover!

I’ve been dying to read Agatha Christie and got hold of her first Hercule Poirot tale, The Mysterious Affair at Styles = super excited!

The Real [Digital] Library

I am virtually obsessed with the Overdrive app, enabling me to tap into the resources of the library without leaving my house!

When I began utilizing the app, I checked out as many books as possible; I have since learned to check out a few at a time to avoid rechecking books continuously!

As of now, I have a total of three books checked out, with one due in just a few days! LOL! Laura Ingalls Wilder’s fourth series book On the Banks of Plum Creek, Classified As Murder by Miranda James, and iZombie, Vol. 1: Dead to the World by Chris Roberson I borrowed.

I’m SO excited for the iZombie graphic novel – I had no clue there were books! I adore the show and that name – Liv Moore – tickles the crap out of me!

Book Depository

After reading the Geek Girl debut, aptly called Geek Girl, I fell in serious obsession mode with the series and added to my collection by ordering the rest of the series books!

All That Glitters, Head Over Heels, and Forever Geek moved into my library…err the basket beside my bed. 😀

In addition to Smale’s tales, I got a pretty copy of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman as well as China Rich Girlfriend!

Books-a-Million

I mentioned earlier how excited I am to read Leah on the Offbeat and I get to! I had totally forgotten that I’d ordered it! It’s like Christmas over here! 😀

Also from Books-a-Million, I got Saga, Vol. 8 and Paper Girls, Vol. 4 [which I’ve already devoured], both by Brian K. Vaughan

Challenging

So far, I’m still taking part in The Novel Knight’s Beat the Backlist challenge, the POPSUGAR reading challenge, and, of course, the 2018 Goodreads challenge for the year.

Challenges going on now for short periods of time include the read-a-thon challenge I’m co-hosting with wonderful Twitter friends, Spring Fling, the first installment of Seasonal-a-Thon!

I wanted to participate in Bout of Books 22, but it just didn’t work out for me this round. 😦

So, for Beat the Backlist, I’ve read quite a few backlist books, of which I am very proud! 😀 I’m a member of team Book Bards, and we’re making a comeback! Just because I feel like making a list, here’s a rundown of the books published prior to this year I’ve read!

Third day of the school I walked this morning it wasn't fun but my dad always tells me there is this flower on a cactus and that it's so beautiful. It only blooms one day that's why he likes it so much, when I was walking there's this cactus I always pass by and I saw the flower open. It was cool. I bumped into ranae once I got to school and then we found hailey. First period- it was boring, we did the same thing. Watch the fricking Mesopotamia documentary. We finished it though so I'm happy. Second period- we did the regular the warm ups. It warms my heart that people ask me for help on Spanish because they don't know what they're doing and they trust me enough. The new girl got my phone and put her number in it with a 🍁❤️ but she's also white and white girls are weird so it's okay. I don't know if we had homework and the new girl won't answer my text message so rip. Third period- we did our spotlights then we played this ice breaker game all period and it was fun until you had to throw the squishy. I hit the roof many times. My favorite interesting fact about someone was " sometimes when I'm walking, I forget I'm walking and I stumble " My interesting fact was that I can shake my eyes. We were put into group that's like our small family for the year Our group name is ATM $ ( all the moment dolla signs and it's also some of our initials ). We were going to name it just Tammy. Break - I bought 2 chocolate bars from mrs s. They were good. We told mrs s the chisme from band and she was like yikes band drama. We asked if she had drama in band and she was like of course. Ranae drew her when she drum major and I put me as a baby. She said I don't even think you were alive when I was drunk major so made me as a sperm , it was funny. Fourth period- Baker was loosing her voice so she didn't want to take notes so she gave us a packet. I worked with bellen and Caitlyn but it wasn't really working together it was more like oh Ima ask for answers when I don't understand something. Everyone around my desk was making fun of long haired Brandon Bc it looks like he got his eyebrows done because they are A1. He denied everything. Fifth period - I actually really like this class, destiny and I did the usual make jokes and annoy edgar. We're still learning about Ancient Greece. Mr rice told us a savage story how a police officer gave him A ticket when he shouldn't have. Mr rice took it to court and made him look like a fool. The judge laughed at the police officer. Then someone was killed by his house so he had to talk to the detective. It was the police officer #awkward. Lunch - it was normal but I got jack in the box so it's okay. Angie and I talked to alex and vivian about the meeting and how we were nervous and what the outcome could be. Sixth period- it was boring, we just talked about the bad article Ms p gave us but Thaily spilled the tea on how the new Asb teacher sucks Seventh period - it was fun and kinda the same we just did math lol. Eighth period - this was a rollercoaster ride. It was fun like normal my section kept making fun of me and hide my stuff but today they almost pushed my limit Bc they put stuff in my tuba, alex and edgar lost my mouth piece and I'm really anxious Bc I need to find it. They hid my phone all period which is 2 and half hours and my dad got upset with me because I didn't answer his text but I didn't have my phone. Belinda was by us and we talked to her but Matt and Theo came and belinda cussed Matt out. Yikes. The meeting was dumb it was just Theo saying we had to respect him and stuff and if we say #notmysectionleader we will run 3 laps. I see both sides tho but I feel bad but I don't at the same time. My walk home - my dad walked with me and we got a hot dog and drink from 711 then I spilled the tea to him about what happened in school today and then we passed the cactus and the flower wasn't open anymore ):

Ambiguo e inclasificable: así es el sexo en los nuevos tiempos

“I’m not a woman. I’m not a man. I’m something that you’ll never understand” (No soy una mujer. No soy un hombre. Soy algo que nunca entenderás), cantaba Prince en 1984 en la canción I Would die 4U. Pero la imagen andrógina del cantante de Minneapolis, que mezclaba rímel con bigote, tacones con pelo en pecho y tórax musculado con encajes, patente en la portada de su álbum Lovesexy (1988), no es nada demasiado nuevo. Ya Bowie había explotado antes su fluida sexualidad en los inicios de su carrera, tanto desde el punto de vista estilístico como en sus declaraciones o estilo de vida. La mayoría de sus muchas biografías no autorizadas lo dibujan como personaje bisexual, con una cierta adicción al sexo, que frecuentaba los círculos gays del Londres de los 70, al mismo tiempo que estaba casado con Angie, su primera esposa.

Pero Prince, además de su pretensión de no clasificarse en ninguno de los apartados que pudieran definir ni su identidad ni su orientación sexual; predicaba, de forma muy sutil, que la gente empezase a dejar de hacerlo. En su canción If I was your Girlfriend (1987) canta: “Si yo fuera tu novia. ¿Te acordarías de contarme todas las cosas que he olvidado cuando era un hombre?”. En el tema Controversy (1981) se pregunta “¿Soy negro o blanco?, ¿Hetero o gay?” Y si en la mayoría de sus entrevistas el músico se perfilaba como heterosexual, en otras muchas simplemente respondía: “¿Y eso importa?”.

Esa misma pregunta se la hacen, desde hace algún tiempo, celebrities como Kristen Stewart, Miley Cyrus, Cara Delevingne o Lily-Rose Depp –la hija de Vanessa Paradis y Johnny Depp–, que se resisten a satisfacer la ansiedad de un público que necesita encasillarlas en una orientación sexual determinada. La top model Hanne Gaby ha ido más allá y se ha declarado públicamente intersexual, es decir, un individuo que tiene en grados variables caracteres sexuales de ambos sexos. “Es muy importante para mí que en este momento de mi vida se rompan los tabús. En este punto, en esta época, debería ser perfectamente normal hablar de la intersexualidad”, declaró la modelo tras hablar sin tapujos

Muchas de estas personalidades ya han engrosado el proyecto Self Evident Truths, que busca sacar a la luz la sexualidad de todos aquellos que se identifiquen con cualquier cosa menos con ser 100% algo, generalmente hetero u homosexual. Una idea que salió de la cabeza de la artista iO Tillett Wright, que un día empezó a fotografiar rostros “no de hombres ni mujeres, sino de individuos”. “Todos somos iguales, todos somos únicos” es la filosofía que se desprende de sus vivencias personales. A los seis años quiso ser niño, para lo que se rapó el pelo y empezó a jugar al balón. Más adelante, se sintió de nuevo cómoda con su cuerpo y volvió a ser mujer.

St Vincent ha declarado que “no se identifica con nada en particular”.

La cantautora y multiinstrumentista estadounidense St. Vincent, ha declarado que no cree en “la fluidez sexual y de géneros. Realmente no me identifico con nada en particular”. Una corriente que empiezan a abrazar muchos millennials y que se refleja en el estudio Glaad’s Accelerating Acceptance Report, de 2016, que revela que las nuevas generaciones se sienten cada vez más cómodas identificándose fuera de los tradicionales conceptos binarios de gay/ heterosexual, hombre/mujer. El estudio, llevado a cabo en EEUU entre 2.037 adultos, revela que un 20% de los jóvenes de entre 18 y 34 años son más propensos a definirse abiertamente como integrantes del colectivo LGTBI que las generaciones anteriores. Otro 12% de ellos se consideran transexuales o no están contentos con el género que les asignó al nacer, el doble del porcentaje que registra este fenómeno entre los entrevistados pertenecientes a la Generación X (los que cuentan ahora entre 35 y 51 años). El estudio es el último que se ha hecho al respecto, después de que el pasado año la agencia Walter Thompson Innovation descubriera, tras la elaboración de una encuesta, que solo el 48% de la Generación Z (entre 13 y 20 años) se identifican a sí mismos como heterosexuales; y de que en 2015, una investigación en el Reino Unido llevada a cabo por YouGov, una firma de estudios de mercado, mostrara al mundo que el 43% de los jóvenes ingleses de entre 18 y 24 años no se consideran a sí mismos como completamente heterosexuales.

Jill Soloway creadora de la popular y premiada serie Transparent, reflexionaba como uno de los papeles de los transexuales es hacer que el resto del mundo empiece a cuestionarse qué es lo que realmente le atrae. “Enamoramientos entre gays o lesbianas, entre heterosexuales o gente con una orientación sexual más fluida, o queer? ¿O tal vez solo atracciones, solo sexo, solo amor?”.

No es tolerancia todo lo que reluce

Para Delfina Mieville, socióloga y sexóloga experta en género y derechos humanos, con consulta en Madrid, “dentro de las nuevas generaciones hay mucha más fluidez en cuanto a la orientación sexual es decir, hacia quién dirijo mi deseo (hetero, homo, bi, pansexual…), pero también hay más polaridad. Por un lado están los jóvenes educados y concienciados con la diversidad racial, de género u orientación y por otra parte los hijos de la “no frustración”, que al no salir de su zona de confort, viven ajenos a la realidad, sin entender nada ni querer hacerlo. Porque, al mismo tiempo que existe la primera tendencia entre los millennials, también se registra un cierto renacimiento o continuidad de la cultura machista entre sectores más jóvenes”.

Mieville opina que hay mucho de estrategia de marketing en esta celebrada tolerancia sexual. “En cuanto al ‘no género’, o la ambigüedad, la mayoría es un juego de seducción con la cámara y el espectador, sea éste quien sea, como objeto del deseo de esa mirada estudiada. Lo no binario (hombre/mujer), además de ser algo nuevo para occidente es todavía difícilmente viable a pie de calle. Algunos transexuales como Laverne Cox, una de las protagonistas de Orange is the New Black, pueden llegar a convertirse en iconos. Pero no olvidemos que los ‘pecados’ se les perdonan antes a los privilegiados o personas con algún tipo de poder, que a los simples mortales. Tampoco hay que perder de vista que las mujeres transexuales lo tienen más difícil, porque al cambiar de hombres a mujeres bajan de estatus, pasan a formar parte de lo que se ha llamado ‘el sexo débil’, y muchas tienen miedo a ser objeto de burla o a sufrir agresiones de todo tipo. Con todo, por ahora, yo sentiría gratitud, por que aunque sea más un reflejo que una realidad, existe visibilidad”.

La actriz transexual Laverne Cox.

La propia Laverne Cox, tuvo que emigrar a Nueva York para refugiarse del continuo acoso de sus compañeros de colegio en Alabama, por sus actitudes claramente femeninas y, más adelante, intentó suicidarse tomándose un frasco de pastillas. El glamour que acompaña a su vida pública y su aparición en la portada de la revista Time es una trayectoria que pocas transexuales comparten.

De hecho, el fenómeno queer, como apunta Delfina, “es un movimiento político muy impregnado de la realidad de los derechos humanos y el enfoque de género y que se popularizó con la ayuda del feminismo, lo que a veces parece que se olvida”.

Beatriz Preciado escribe en el blog Parole de Queer, sobre la historia de esta palabra en los siguientes términos: “En el siglo XVIII eran queer los invertidos, el maricón y la lesbiana, el travesti, el fetichista, el sadomasoquista y el zoófilo. El insulto “queer” no tenía un contenido específico: pretendía reunir todas las señas de lo abyecto. (…) En algo menos de dos siglos la palabra queer ha cambiado radicalmente de uso, usuario y concepto. El movimiento queer no es un movimiento de homosexuales, sino de disidentes de género y sexuales que resisten frente a las normas que impone la sociedad heterosexual dominante (…)”.

Caitlyn Jenner –ex William Bruce Jenner, campeón olímpico de decatlón en los Juegos Olímpicos de 1976–, quien confesaba en una cabecera que tuvo “una pistola en las manos un par de veces”; la modelo transgénica Andreja Pejic o el genial actor escocés Alan Cumming, que registra dos matrimonios, el primero con una mujer y el segundo con un hombre, son ejemplos de la elasticidad en cuestión de identidades y orientaciones hacia la que caminamos. Tal vez dentro de algunos años la casilla del sexo desaparezca de los pasaportes o carnets de identidad y salir del armario no tendrá ya sentido. Habrá tantos por los que transitaremos a lo largo de nuestras vidas que ya nadie dará importancia a aquellas primitivas ‘clasificaciones’.

General information

Born in Brixton (London) on januari 8 in 1947. His family moved to Bromley when he was six years old. He is an English musician, artist and actor. He changed his name to David Bowie in 1966 because he didn't want people to compare him with Davy Jones from the band 'The Monkies'. When David was in the mand 'The King-Bees' he named himself David Jones.

In 1972 he broke through for the first time with the album 'The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars'. He created an alter ego named Ziggy Stardust. A androgynous, colorful and unusual appearance. Ziggy Stardust was the beginning of the glam-rock scene.

When Ziggy Stardust stopped Bowie created a new alterego as countermovement. Thin White Duke; skinny, smooth, stylish and more casual. This look went along with the album 'Station to Station' in 1976.

David Bowie is famous for continue changing his style. He also adds several disciplines such as music, fashion, theater and film toghether which always creates something unique. He can analyse trends and dictate them. This has resulted in many top albums, movies, art and theaterplays. He was a big influence in the 70s till now, even after his dead.

Relationships

After different short relationships David met Angie (Angela Barnett) in 1969. They had an open relationship. After a year they got married and in 1971 they had a son named Zowie. Later he changed his name to Jones. The marriage was still 'open' and had a lot of ups and downs. Angie was very depressed and once tried to commit suicide. This let to a divorce in 1980 and David got the custody of Zowie. David had after Angie different short relationships. He met a model in 1990 (Iman Abdulmajid) who he married two years later. In august 2000 they had a daughter named Alexandria.

Family

David Bowie was the son of John and Peggy. His father died in 1969 days after he won the award for best produced record for 'When i live my dream'. David his breakthroguh still had to come but his parents were really proud of him.

David had a half-brother; Terry Burns. They were really close. Terry joined the army in 1956. When he came back he inspired David with different kinds of music and let David see the life outside Bromley (jazz and r&b). At the age of 29 Terry had symptomps of the disease schizophrenia, a disease very common in the family. He was admitted to an institution and tried to commit suicide several times. He succeeded in januari 1985. David was broken about it and later on he wrote a song about it; 'Jump they sey'.

PERSONALITY

For the personality research we looked at the different characters he has made through the years. After that we will make a conclusion of his personality also in mind that he changes himself all the time.

Man Who Sold The World

Much of The Man Who Sold the World had a distinct heavy metal edge that distinguishes it from Bowie's other releases, and has been compared to contemporary acts such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Source: http://ziggy.mybluemix.net/static/personality.html?persona=Man%20Who%20Sold%20The%20World

Lyrics song ‘Man Who Sold The World’.

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes I thought you died alone, a long long time ago Oh no, not me I never lost control You're face to face With The Man Who Sold The World I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here We must have died alone, a long long time ago Who knows? not me We never lost control You're face to face With the Man who Sold the World

Source: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/davidbowie/themanwhosoldtheworld.html

It was his third album "The Man Who Sold The World" that characterised a wholly different sound for him. The heavy rock sound was a marked departure from his folksy overtones and saw him promote the album extensively. It was during these promotions that Bowie’s androgynous appearance was first capitalised upon. The original British cover saw Bowie in a dress, one that he often sported during promotional interviews. His androgynous avatar was hugely popularised and Bowie went on to tease his fans about his perceived bisexuality. Reams have been written back in the day of his sexual preferences, quotes that he himself has later debunked. I never could quite get my head around why he’d do that but it set the notion that if anyone could promote androgyny with such sass, it had to be Bowie. Source: http://www.firstpost.com/bollywood/remembering-remembering-david-bowie-the-man-who-sold-the-world-the-finest-saddest-strangest-and-most-beautiful-freak-show-itll-ever-see-bowie-a-man-whose-music-was-as-metaphorically-schizophrenic-2578976.html

The third studio album by Bowie (in England only in 1971 appeared to meet an alternative hoes, Taking full use is made of the androgynous appearance of the singer - see above) is regarded as an early example of glam rock. The Man Who Sold The World was a Pretty dark plate, which alone was evident in the lyrics. So All The Madmen treats a theme that's coming back more often in his songs: insanity. Bowie GAF later than ook toe HE THAT song was written more than are tragic half-brother Terry Burns, die suffered from schizophrenia and himself 25 years later in life deprived door himself door to let a train run over.

1971: Bowie's Three Musketeers Phase

David Bowie is noted for being one of the most sexually open and promiscuous stars ever on-stage. Bowie sampled everyone: his managers, assistants, groupies, other musicians, stars, models, you name it. He and his first wife Angie Bowie had an open relationship and a penchant for throwing orgies at their house on Oakley Street in London that still shocks the neighborhood decades later. Source: http://allday.com/post/909-the-many-faces-of-david-bowie/

The world stood still when David Bowie died on January 10th. Bowie is considered a musical genius, especially since he reinvented himself time and again. He switched regularly by genre, by immersing themselves in it thoroughly and give a complete twist. Creative as he was, he stretched himself in every new musical period a totally new alter ego. Include name, clothing, way of talking and moving. Anyone else would be of acute schizophrenic, but David Bowie was a way to express how versatile he was. Are anything but mainstream characters fell in and worked very refreshing among all the other artists. The best known is probably Ziggy Stardust from the early 70s, a man / alien with bright red hair. Thereafter, among others followed the androgynous Aladdin Sane, the timeless dandy The Thin Duke and Bowie in tight suit "Lets dance" a megahit sang in the eighties. All of these transformations had a large influence. On the fashion world and on society. Were his alter egos and are inspiring for major designers. Miu Miu, Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Dior, Paul Smith; all of them came in the last few years with a collection that was inspired by one of his characters. He has his androgynous characters as early as the seventies opened doors for transgenders. Without David Bowie no Caitlyn Jenner, we want to say. Source: Viva 26 January 2016

Androgen (no gender)

Long flowing locks, high cheekbones and soft lines; These were the elements that David Bowie his androgynous look was complete for the release of his third album, The Man Who Sold The World. For the British album cover he put on a dress, which he later did wear during interviews and in public. It earned him mixed reactions. His early glam rock and gender-bending style during his Hunky Dory album (think bell-bottom jeans and fur) underlying his alter ego Ziggy Stardust in 1972.

Conclusion: This period relates to his album ‘Man Who Sold The World’. With every new music album he switched style, name, way of talking and moving. He creates a new personality with every new album. Long hair, high cheekbones and soft lines, these were elements for his androgynous look for this album.

What do people think about him? It was new, something they didn’t seen before. What inspired him? Miu Miu, Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Dior and Paul Smith.

What are the characteristics of this personality? Long hair, high cheekbones and soft lines.

Ziggy Stardust (1972)

The most famous and complete concept that David Bowie created. With this look he was one of the founders of the glam-rock scene. The album is a story about an alien (Ziggy) who in human form the message of hope brings. Ziggy stands for the definition rockstar, sexual promiscuous and wildly on drugs but with a message of peace and love.

'They were different, they were weird' – someone talking about David Bowie and his band.

The idea for the 'look' came from an fascination and an interest in music and theater. The songs came from Bowie's brain, obsessed with space, Japanese culture and fame. He wasn't shy to talk about his inspiration.

'I'm a collector and I collect personalities and ideas'. – David Bowie

He wanted to change the music industry because he thought it was boring.

It took months to develop each members image. People really thought Bowie and his band came from Mars. It was fantasy.

Bowie was going trough a spiritual awakening but was acting it out through the medium of Ziggy. People didn't want to interview Bowie but Ziggy. He was an actor.

'He created a monster and had to kill it, he couldn't be Ziggy Stardust for the rest of his life' – someone talking about Bowie killing Ziggy.

What are the characteristics of his personality? Androgyne – Weird – Open – Imaginative

What inspired him? Fascination and interest in music and theatre, obsessed with space, Japanese culture and fame.

What do people think about him? A weird rockstar

What is his vision here? Be weird, the music industry is boring.

Aladdin sane

Rest in peace, Ziggy Stardust – long live Aladdin Sane. Just a year after seducing the world with the saga of Ziggy, Bowie killed him off to invent a new glam character – a much darker one, with a new hairstyle and a lightning bolt painted over his face. "There was a point in '73 where I knew it was all over," Bowie said. "I didn't want to be trapped in this Ziggy character all my life. And I guess what I was doing on Aladdin Sane, I was trying to move into the next area – but using a rather pale imitation of Ziggy as a secondary device. In my mind, it was Ziggy Goes to Washington: Ziggy under the influence of America.”

Aladdin Sane is a harder, nastier, gaudier album than Ziggy Stardust, written on the road and immersed in the decadence and sleaze of American culture. Each song on the LP is listed with the place that supposedly inspired it: "Watch That Man" in New York, "Drive-In Saturday" in Seattle and Phoenix, "Cracked Actor" in L.A., "Lady Grinning Soul" back in London. But everywhere he goes, he sees cheap sex and cheaper drugs. Now that he'd hustled his way into the American limelight, he wasn't sure he liked it.

Aladdin Sane is the sixth studio album by English musician David Bowie, released by RCA Records on 13 April 1973. The follow-up to his breakthrough The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, it was the first album he wrote and released from a position of stardom.

What inspired him? After his Ziggy Stardust character he inspired himself to invent a new darker glam character. He was also inspired by the dirty American culture

What are the characteristics of this personality? Gloomy, Uncertain

Thin White Duke

Wiki https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thin_White_Duke

The Thin White Duke was David Bowie's persona and character, primarily identified with his album Station to Station and mentioned by name in the title track, although Bowie had begun to adopt the 'Duke' persona during the preceding Young Americans tour and promotion. The persona's look and character are somewhat based on Thomas Jerome Newton, the titular humanoid alien played by Bowie in the 1976 film The Man Who Fell to Earth.

At first glance, the Thin White Duke appeared more "normal" than Bowie's previously flamboyant glam incarnations. Wearing a simple and impeccably stylish, cabaret-style wardrobe consisting of a white shirt, black trousers, and a waistcoat, the Duke was a hollow man who sang songs of romance with an agonised intensity while feeling nothing, "ice masquerading as fire".[1] The persona has been described as "a mad aristocrat",[2]”an amoral zombie",[3] and "an emotionless Aryan superman". Bowie himself described the character as "A very Aryan, fascist type; a would-be romantic with absolutely no emotion at all but who spouted a lot of neo-romance."

The Thin White Duke was a controversial figure. While being interviewed in the persona in 1975 and 1976, Bowie made statements about Adolf Hitler and fascism that some interpreted as being positive or even pro-fascist. The controversy deepened in May 1976 when, while acknowledging a group of fans outside of London Victoria station, he was photographed making what some alleged to be a Nazi salute. Bowie denied this, saying that he was simply waving and the photographer captured his image mid-wave. As early as 1976, Bowie began disavowing his allegedly pro-Fascist comments and said that he was misunderstood. In an interview that year in the Daily Express, he explained that while performing in his various characters, "I'm Pierrot. I'm Everyman. What I'm doing is theatre, and only theatre... What you see on stage isn't sinister. It's pure clown. I'm using myself as a canvas and trying to paint the truth of our time on it. The white face, the baggy pants - they're Pierrot, the eternal clown putting over the great sadness."In 1977 (after retiring the persona), Bowie stated that "I have made my two or three glib, theatrical observations on English society and the only thing I can now counter with is to state that I am NOT a Fascist".

In later years, Bowie called the period from late 1974 until early 1977 which culminated in his Thin White Duke persona "the darkest days of my life" due to his "astronomical" cocaine usage. He blamed his erratic behaviour and fascination with Nazi and occult symbols during that time on his precarious drug-addled mental state, and he claimed that he did not even remember recording Station to Station in 1976."I was out of my mind, totally crazed."As his drug habit ate away at his physical and mental health, Bowie attempted to reduce his cocaine intake and phase out the Thin White Duke persona, whom he had come to see as "a nasty character indeed", and later, "an ogre". He left Los Angeles and settled in West Berlin in late 1976. He would live there for almost two years, moving on from the Thin White Duke era both musically and personally with his "Berlin Trilogy" albums (Low, "Heroes", and Lodger) in collaboration with Brian Eno and Tony Visconti. >

Book: David Bowie Style

> Chapter 4: Diamond Dog to Thin White Duke

If Ziggy was about the blaze of a new star and Aladdin Sane his fall from the heights, the Thin White Duke represented the emptied shell of the man left in the aftermath.

Still this was a period where he became very famous hanging with people like John Lennon and Elizabeth Taylor.

The Duke was a man struggling to experience his own emotions, existing in an amoral zone of numbed feeling. Once more, the boundary between the artist and his creation became unstable, with Bowie's drug consumption and minimal food intake a recipe likely to send any individual into fraught mental state. His Restricted diet also meant that Bowie appeared skeletal – spectral almost – with translucent skin stretched over razor-sharp cheekbones and deep-set eyes.

Like a torch singer lit by a dying candle, the Duke was, in Bowie's own words very 'Berlin-esque', conjuring up elements of the underground nightclubs that had existed in the city during the 20s and 30s. Like Berlin at that time, the Duke was a character on the edge of catastrophe. Bowie's dark aesthetic during this incarnation reflected both that previous era and the 70s, when economic stagnation in the west was rife and civil unrest seemed to be inevitable. The colorful blaze of Ziggy's rise was now brought fully back to earth and the Thin White Duke embodied the dark trauma of a burnt-out star.

---------------------------------------------------------------

What do people think about him?

David Bowie was very populair and tried to make it in America. With friends like John Lennon and interesting music he became very populair. But because he made pro-fascist statements linked with persons like Hitler people became very critical on him. Later he explained that he was mentally ill and this was actually the worst time of his life because of drug problems. This period was a very dark period in his life and this character is kind of the translation of this. The opposite of the colorful Ziggy Stardust. “Thin White Duke embodied the dark trauma of a bunt-out star”.

What inspired him?

Thomas Jerome Newton, a character that he played in the movie: The man who fell to earth. This movie was also an inspiration for him because he always had a link with the unknown and alien things.

He also was using a lot of drugs and later even claimed that he did not know anything of the recordings anymore.

What was his vision here?

I don't think he really had a vision in this period of his life. He made different statements that people called 'Fascistic' but he said later that he is not and that he was using so much drugs that he didn't think clearly. But because it was a very dark period I am sure he had dark thoughts about life but there are no facts about that.

Top 3: Emotionless/ Depressed/ Unstable

Berlin Bowie moved to Switzerland in 1976, purchasing a chalet in the hills to the north of Lake Geneva. In the new environment, his cocaine use decreased and he found time for other pursuits outside his musical career. He devoted more time to his painting, and produced a number of post-modernist pieces. When on tour, he took to sketching in a notebook, and photographing scenes for later reference. Visiting galleries in Geneva and the Brücke Museum in Berlin, Bowie became, in the words of biographer Christopher Sandford, "a prolific producer and collector of contemporary art. Not only did he become a well-known patron of expressionist art: locked in Clos des Mésanges he began an intensive self-improvement course in classical music and literature, and started work on an autobiography.”

When Bowie moved from Los Angeles to Berlin in late 1976, he’d been on the edge of physical and mental collapse. At first, he fell back on old habits, cruising around the divided city with flatmate Iggy Pop, drinking KöPi at Joe’s Beer House, stumbling into gutters and transvestite bars, clubbing at the Dschungel and the Unlimited. One night, Iggy sat in the passenger seat as Bowie rammed their dealer’s car again and again, for five crazed minutes. He then drove around their hotel’s underground car park, pushing 70mph, screaming above the screech of the tyres that he wanted to end it all by driving into a concrete wall. Until his car ran out of fuel and the two friends collapsed in hysterics. He realised his goal was not simply to find a new way of making music, but rather to reinvent – or to come back to – himself. He no longer needed to adopt characters to sing his songs. He found the courage to throw away the props, costumes and stage sets. By the summer of 1977, Bowie was on a creative high. With producer Tony Visconti and friend Brian Eno, he began to make a new album. Over long sessions in the studio, he ate almost nothing, sailing home to Hauptstraße with Eno at dawn, breaking a raw egg into his mouth, and sleeping a few hours before returning to the studio.

Interview with David Bowie about his time in Berlin.

Many reasons have been suggested for moving to Berlin: the local art and music scene, to escape superstardom, for spiritual and physical detox - plus the creative stimulation of being in an isolated, edgy, divided city. Are these theories accurate? Can you remember why the city appealed?

db: Life in LA had left me with an overwhelming sense of foreboding. I had approached the brink of drug induced calamity one too many times and it was essential to take some kind of positive action. For many years Berlin had appealed to me as a sort of sanctuary like situation. It was one of the few cities where I could move around in virtual anonymity. I was going broke; it was cheap to live. For some reason, Berliners just didn't care. Well, not about an English rock singer anyway.

Since my teenage years I had obsessed on the angst ridden, emotional work of the expressionists, both artists and film makers, and Berlin had been their spiritual home. This was the nub of Die Brucke movement, Max Rheinhardt, Brecht and where Metropolis and Caligari had originated. It was an art form that mirrored life not by event but by mood. This was where I felt my work was going. My attention had been swung back to Europe with the release of Kraftwerk's Autobahn in 1974. The preponderance of electronic instruments convinced me that this was an area that I had to investigate a little further.

David Bowie: The Berlin Briefings is a collection of resurfaced interviews, featuring guest appearances from friends, producers, and his then-roommate, Iggy Pop. Bowie talks candidly about living with Pop in Berlin in the late ’70s, and what ended up being an incredibly refreshing, productive era for both of them. Their time in Germany was a mental and creative vacation, the chance for them to get away from a heavy drug scene and the weight of being famous in America. This is when Bowie created what is referred to as his “Berlin Trilogy”: Low (1977), “Heroes” (1977), and Lodger (1979). Meanwhile, Pop churned out two iconic albums of his own in 1977: Lust for Life and The Idiot. “I knew I had to get to an environment that was totally different to Los Angeles, so I thought of the most arduous city that I could think of,” Bowie said in his 1977 interview with the CBC. “And it was West Berlin.” Source: http://www.spin.com/2016/06/daily-deal-rare-collection-of-interviews-with-david-bowie-and-iggy-pop/

Conclusion: In Berlin David Bowie learned a lot about himself. He moved to Berlin because of different reasons but the main reason was to kick off from drugs (cocaine). He said Berlin was a creative vacation, the change for him to get away from a heavy drug scene and the weight of being famous in America. He realised his goal was not simply to find a new way of making music, but rather to reinvent himself. He no longer needed to adopt characters to sing his songs. He lived in Berlin for 3 years and beside music he started painting.Wa

Pierrot (1980)

Also known as the Blue Clown (cover of the Scary Monsters album). David wanted to be the most beautiful clown of the circus.

'I'm Pierrot, I'm everyman, what I'm doing is theatre, it's pure clown. I'm using myself as a canvas and trying to paint the truth of our time'. – David Bowie.

Bowie studied theatre and mime and played a role in a theatre production Pierrot in Turquise. He turned into Pierrot in his music video Ashes to Ashes.

The song is about his past with drugs. In the song he says that if you want to accomplish something you have to say away from drugs. The struggle with his past, dark side, lonely and lost.

What are the characteristics of his personality?

Realistic – strong

What inspired him?

His past with druguse, things his mother once said to him.

What do people think about him?

Fairytalelike

What is his vision here?

Be realistic, tell the truth, no more hiding.

Modern Love

"Modern Love" is a song written and recorded by David Bowie. It was the opening track to his fifteenth studio album Let's Dance. It was issued as the third single from the album in 1983.

Bowie claimed the song was inspired by Little Richard, and it maintains the album's theme of a struggle between God and man. The line "Get me to the church on time" from the lyrics is the title of the same-named tune from My Fair Lady. By the time "Modern Love" was issued and edited as a single, Bowie's Serious Moonlight Tour was underway. The single reached No. 2 in the UK, and No. 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

As a video, “Modern Love” is as straightforward as it gets, especially compared to the others Bowie did that year, “China Girl” and “Let’s Dance.” That could be because Yukich, even though he was Capitol/EMI’s in-house director at the time, was still a newcomer to directing music videos, but it more likely reflects the sudden success of “Modern Love.”

It has less to do with the video and more to do with the song: As art-damaged as Bowie liked to be, he could sling straight-forward rave-ups with the best of ’em, and “Modern Love” is basically one long hook, which perhaps obscures the anxiety about faith—in both the almighty and relationships—at the song’s core. Few pop songs can pull off sing-alongs to the lyrics “God and man, no religion.”

What inspired him?

The song was inspired by Little Richard and the head theme of the whole album was the struggle between God and man.

Lazarus

Lazarus is a character and single of David Bowie's last album 'Blackstar'. In the clip of the single you can see him with a mask in a hospital bed. The single opens with the lyrics: 'Look up here, I am in heaven'. A lot of discussion started when he died, did he organize the album around his death? The answer is probably yes.

Research

Wiki

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_(David_Bowie_song)

"Lazarus" is a song by English rock musician David Bowie. It was released on 17 December 2015 as a digital download, making it the second single from his twenty-fifth studio album, Blackstar (2016), as well as Bowie's last single released before his death on 10 January 2016. The single received its world premiere on BBC Radio 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq on the day of its release as a single. In addition to its release on Blackstar, the track is used in Bowie's off-Broadway musical of the same name. The official music video, directed by Johan Renck, was released on 7 January 2016, three days before Bowie's death.

The video was directed by Johan Renck (who also directed the music video for Bowie's previous single, "Blackstar") in November 2015; during the week of shooting, doctors reportedly informed Bowie the cancer was terminal and that they were ending treatment. The filming location was a studio in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. The video is shown in a 1:1 aspect ratio and prominently features Bowie, appearing with a bandage and buttons sewn over his eyes as in the "Blackstar" video, lying on a deathbed.

Telegraph UK

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/03/16/david-bowies-last-release-lazarus-was-parting-gift-for-fans-in-c/

“David Bowie's final record was a carefully-orchestrated farewell to his fans, his producer has confirmed.”

“Tony Visconti, the producer who worked with Bowie to complete his final album, has released a statement saying it was deliberately created and timed as a "parting gift" for his fans.”

"His death was no different from his life - a work of Art.”

Wiki 2

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_David_Bowie

Bowie's final album, Blackstar—styled as ★ on the cover—was heavily analysed following his death, and numerous supposed clues about Bowie's fate were discussed. The album's second single "Lazarus" includes the lyrics "Look up here, I'm in heaven/I've got scars that can't be seen", which appeared in numerous news publications after his death. The album's title was also believed to have symbolised death; it is the name given to a cancerous lesion, as well as the term for the transitional state between a collapsed star and a singularity. It is also reminiscent of the name of a little-known song about death by one of Bowie's musical idols, Elvis Presley, which features the lyrics "When a man sees his flaming star, he knows his time has come". A tumblr account which seemingly included images replicated in the yet-to-be-released video for "Lazarus" was speculated to have been created by Bowie, and these images—Bowie retreating into a wooden cupboard, and writing with a skull on his desk—seemed to many to symbolise Bowie's imminent death.

Other lyrics were also scrutinised; the track "Dollar Days", for example, featured the line, "Don't believe for just one second I'm forgetting you/I'm trying to/I'm dying to". The title and refrain of the album's final track, "I Can’t Give Everything Away", was believed by some commentators to refer to Bowie keeping his imminent fate private whilst hinting at it throughout the album, while its use of the harmonica solo from "A New Career In A New Town"—an instrumental track on Bowie’s 1977 album Low which refers to his move to Berlin—was considered a reference to Bowie beginning another new phase of his life. The track "Girl Loves Me", another example, features the line, "Where the fuck did Monday go?", which some listeners believe eerily predicted the death of Bowie on Sunday, therefore missing Monday.

Lyrics Lazarus

Look up here, I'm in heaven

I've got scars that can't be seen

I've got drama, can't be stolen

Everybody knows me now

Look up here, man, I'm in danger

I've got nothing left to lose

I'm so high it makes my brain whirl

Dropped my cell phone down below

Ain't that just like me?

By the time I got to New York

I was living like a king

There I'd used up all my money

I was looking for your ass

This way or no way

You know, I'll be free

Just like that bluebird

Now, ain't that just like me?

Oh, I'll be free

Just like that bluebird

Oh, I'll be free

Ain't that just like me?

> The lyrics shows a lot of this last period of his life. He is talking about his death, what he accomplished and a dark time in his life. He also makes clear that this was his way of ending his life, with a last album, he is free!

Billboard

http://www.billboard.com/articles/review/6836029/david-bowie-blackstar-album-review

Blackstar is its own strange, perverse thing, the latest move in a boundlessly unpredictable career. Bowie turns 69 on its release date, Jan. 8, yet he remains as committed to novelty as anyone in pop. He also remains a powerful and effective singer, displaying the full range of his tricks on Blackstar -- whispering, warbling, shrieking and dropping into his most romantic baritone-Bowie croon to deliver lyrics like "I want eagles in my daydreams and diamonds in my eyes." That line is one of the more hopeful on a discomfiting record, an album that keeps you riveted even when -- especially when -- it creeps you out

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do people think about him?

After this album and his death Bowie became a real legend. People had a lot of respect for his way of handling his death and said that he was a real artist that kept singing and working until the end. He also became more famous then he already was, who didn't know him yet know him now because social media exploded after he died. He has so many skills. Singing/ acting etc., he uses it all to express himself.

What inspired him?

Because this was the last period of his life I think he was mainly inspired by death, everything he did and was always inspired of, like space and the alien. I think he also wanted to make a last statement, that he is a blackstar, scared but in peace.

What was his vision here?

I think that his vision also links with death. He has peace with it and believes he is in heaven.

What are the characteristics of this personality?

Peacefull/ Satisfied/ Strong

> Important is that he really wanted to show that he was a star. He made a statement with his death, he surprised everyone, again.

Conclusion personality

What we particularly noticed that he actually is a kind of all-rounder, which changed constantly. Adjusts how he feels at certain moments, which were created different characters. Who are seen as characters but David Bowie sees itself as part of what he is. He pushes the boundaries, he is always looking for innovation. He has known a lot of emotion swings during his characters.

MUSIC

What genre is David Bowies music?

While many late rock stars are rightly saluted for their influence and impact, Bowie

occupies a higher historical tier entirely. He's not just an influential rocker. He's not merely one of the most influential rockers. Among rock stars, Bowie influenced more musical genres than anyone else, living or dead. He is, in that respect, the most influential rock star.

Let's run through this. Obviously, no one is going to question how essential he was to glam rock. While The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars and Aladdin Sane ensured his long-term career and infamy, glam rock as a genre owes him just as much. If Bowie hadn't gone glam, history would remember it as a goofy, cute curiosity -- a sub-genre full of wacky fashion and frothy pop songs, but producing no serious content (apart from one or two T. Rex albums, depending on your taste). Most glam rockers are remembered as that -- glam rockers. Bowie, however, produced two albums squarely within the style while simultaneously transcending it. The aforementioned titles aren't simply glam classics -- they're rock classics. They're singer-songwriter classics. They are, simply put, works of art.

In the industrial rock realm, Bowie's impact can't be underplayed: It's impossible to imagine Trent Reznor or Marilyn Manson having substantial careers without Bowie paving the way for them. And when grunge replaced pop-metal as the go-to genre for rebellious teenagers, Bowie was once again a touchstone.

Bowie's various personas have had an impossible-to-overstate influence on teenage minds since the early '70s -- and he will probably continue to inspire personal artistry and nonconformity until long after all of us are dead. Even the idea that one person can have multiple personas and creative identities --- and still remain authentic with all of them -- is something Bowie pioneered. So in that way, Bowie truly is and will remain a peerless rock star -- someone whose music, style and outlook impacted the world in ways no one else did.

Most important genres:

- Glam rock

- Art rock

- Pop rock

Most important features:

- Musical cameleon

- Big influence on multiple genres

When did Bowies music became iconic?

Bowies first attempt at being a solo artist failed miserably. A big amount of singles, including his debut album, became a flop. However, with the single Space Oddity he broke through. This song about walking in space was right in time, since in the same year (1969) mankind set foot on the moon for the first time.

After that Bowie made the alter ego Ziggi Stardust, in which he played with an androgynous appearance. He looked like an alien that could have been either man or woman. He and Marc Bolan were the inventors of Glam Rock.

Is his work a representation of the zeitgeist?

When more and more artist got a look like he did, Bowie decided to let his persona die. He moved to the VS to record a soule number (Young Americans). Bowie has always been a true musical cameleon. He never kept only one music genre and went on with the time spirit. He also did a lot of collaborations with different artist which already were famous or became famous because of him. Rather than as a musician, it’s in Bowie wholly embodying the idea that creativity is an art that must be done with an unwavering devotion to an ultra-aware introspection, and that your spiritual essence is the canvas upon which your best work deserves to be shown is what makes him impressive. Even further, I’d venture to say that this is what allows him to stand as one of the most dominant and zeitgeist controlling creative masters across all mediums of art, ever.

What were his inspirations? Terry Burns, his half-brother, introduced him to modern jazz, his enthusiasm for players like Charles Mingus and John Coltrane led his mother to give him a plastic alto saxophone in 1961; he was soon receiving lessons from a local musician. If you look at the early songs from Bowie's hands, you will see "Song for Bob Dylan" from Hunky Dory (this song is a play on words – Dylan wrote a song to his source of inspiration: "Song for Woody Guthrie"!). Also note the reference to John Lennon in "Life On Mars" from the same album. Later, on the Young Americans album, Bowie duetted with Lennon on "Fame".

David Bowie also liked Bruce Springsteen's work – and this dates back to before Springsteen became a superstar. He covered "Growin' Up" and "It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City" – both songs are from Springsteen's debut album Greetings From Asbury Park. See the article Bowie meets Springsteen for the story of how the two singers eventually met. Roy Bittan from the E Street Band ended up playng piano on several of Bowie's albums.

David Bowie was also openly inspired by Iggy & The Stooges and by The Velvet Underground. Not surprisingly, David Bowie and Iggy Pop became friends – and Bowie produced Lou Reed's Transformer.

CONCLUSIE

- Most important genres:

- Glam rock

- Art rock

- Pop rock

- Musical cameleon

- Big influence on multiple (rock and pop) genres

- He smartly combined the lyrics of his songs with social events (For example the song Space Oddity. First men on the moon in that same year).

- He was one of the most dominant and zeitgeist controlling creative masters across all mediums of art(music), ever. - Inspired by people more than materials

- All of his albums tell a different story(concepts, new identity) - Experimental - Lyrics were personal

Art

David Bowie had studied art and started collecting paintings very early on. Art was the only thing he ever wanted to own. He had to wait till the mid 90’s to get recognition for his own paintings. This because of his fear for failure and thus postponing the public outing of his paintings. 1. What art movement dit David Bowie belong to?

Neo-Expressionism

from 1970

subjects in an almost raw and brutish manner

with the aim to shock people

highly textural

expressive brushwork

intense colors

strong emotions

eclecticism

large canvases

autobiographical elements

political statements

subcultures (graffiti, ethnic art) as an influence

truth > beauty

2. What are the subjects of his paintings?

(self) portraits

scenes from everyday life

personal experiences from traveling

his style:

expressive

emotional

raw

dark

experimental

3. Is his work a representation of the zeitgeist?

The 70’s and 80’s were dominated by artistic forms derived from postmodernism. These movements could be described as an ironic and playful treatment of a fragmented subject, the breakdown of high and low culture hierarchies, the undermining of concepts of authenticity and originality, and an emphasis on image and spectacle. In the eyes of neo-expressionist painters, such as David Bowie, these art forms were very superficial. David Bowie went against postmodernism and created stories through expressive art in which he portrayed his personal feelings and thoughts.

4. What were his inspirations?

David Bowie was a collector of art. He mostly collected paintings from expressionist and surrealist painters such as Frank Auerbach, David Bomberg, Francis Bacon, Francis Picabia, Erich Heckel and Damien Hirst. These painters were also the inspirations for his own work. Their paintings were emotional, subjective and showed dark emotions such as fear and anger.

album covers:

Many of Bowie’s album covers were inspired by different artists such as Erich Heckel and Gilbert & George. The latter being an artist duo creating brightly colored and bold conceptual art.

Conclusion:

Art as an emotional outlet

Not afraid to show emotion and political engagement

Lets himself be carried away by emotion

Has a dark side

Very open minded (especially about inspiration from other artists)

Strong, expressive creativity

Chooses authenticity and truth over perfection and shallowness

Contrast: insecure (inside) - daring (outside)

Film & Theater

In welk filmgenre speelde David Bowie en wat zijn hier de kenmerken van?

Voor welke filmgenres produceerde hij zelf?

Wat zijn de onderwerpen van zijn films? (als acteur en filmmaker)

Sluit zijn werk aan op de zeitgeist of gaat hij hier juist tegenin?

Wat zijn zijn inspiraties? Bowies love for acting started at a very young age. In the years between his first few singles and the fame that came with Space Oddity, Bowie studied dance and mime under Lindsay Kemp.

THEATER

The Elephant Man

The acting debut on the American stage of rock singer David Bowie was greeted by a standing ovation in Denver when the singer, noted for his flamboyant musical style, took on the role of physically misshapen John Merrick, the human monster with a liking for culture.

Bowie claims his interest for this performance was based on the outrageous and distorted elements that his character was based on. (Could have something to do with the schizophrenia in his family.)

FILMS

Along the way, he only had a handful of leading roles; most of the time, he was part of the supporting cast or had a cameo. Sometimes he even played himself, putting a twist on his public image. A David Bowie appearance might not have always guaranteed critical acclaim, but – as you’ll see in our comprehensive look back – it was usually a sign that the work would be creative and imaginative.

Labyrinth (1986) Musical, Adventure, Fantasy

Where everything seems possible and nothing is what it seems.

Bowie playing an evil goblin king as an oddly maternal, glam rocker. We don’t imagine the part required much real acting, but it surely showed us a goofier, more playful side of Bowie.

The man who fell of the earth (1976) Sci-Fi, Drama

You have to believe it to see it.

Nicolas Roeg’s The Man Who Fell to Earth finds the man who was, only a few years earlier, Ziggy Stardust playing an alien who has come to Earth to find water to his drought-stricken home. At the height of his mid-’70s drug excess, Bowie appears pale, painfully thin, and often nervous — making him the perfect extraterrestrial.

The Hunger (1983) Horror

Nothing Human Loves Forever

Growing old and dying have always been preoccupations for Bowie, and we imagine that’s what makes his turn as a rapidly aging vampire so memorable.

Bowie always excelled at playing the magic freak: the world-weary, otherworldly outsider who is both adored and condemned for his destabilizing mojo. And because Bowie's insuperable Bowie-ness glitters too brightly for him to vanish into any one part, a close look at his film and theater roles is a case study in the merits of stunt casting.

He chose his roles so selectively and with such idiosyncratic, yet strangely consistent taste, that almost incidentally to the main narrative of his extraordinary life, he amassed an enviable onscreen filmography.

A year before MTV went on the air, Bowie released the video Ashes to Ashes. (1980) Which Bowie directed together with David Mallet. It cost £250,000 to produce, making it the most expensive music video ever made at the time.

Ashes to Ashes

The music video for "Ashes to Ashes" features Bowie dressed as Pierrot in a variety of bizarre situations. Steve Strange of the New Wave band, Visage, cameos. Bowie has said the shot of himself and other characters marching towards the camera in front of a bulldozer symbolizes "oncoming violence." During this scene, the characters behind Bowie are not bowing, but simply trying to pull their gowns away from the bulldozer so they don't get stuck! This, and many other images in the video suggest that Bowie may be trying to bury the various personas he developed.

The clip was shot during the New Romantics Culture. The fantasy & Escapism of the clip suit to this period of time.

David used his alter ego’s during his performances as an actor as well as the other way around.

SPIRIT OF THE TIME

New Romantics Culture New Romanticism can be seen as a reaction to punk,[3] and was heavily influenced by former glam rock stars of the 1970s such as David Bowie and Roxy Music.[4] In terms of style it rejected the austerity and anti-fashion stance of punk.[5] Both sexes often dressed in counter-sexual or androgynous clothing and wore cosmetics such as eyeliner and lipstick, partly derived from earlier punk fashions.[6] This "gender bending" was particularly evident in figures such as Boy George of Culture Club and Marilyn (Peter Robinson).[3]

INSPIRATION

Since he has had such a long and varied career, David Bowie is very much an artist influenced by his peers. As Hans Hyttel points out he wrote songs about Bob Dylan and John Lennon (also Andy Warhol) and you can see the influence of them in his music and art. He also hung around with Lou Reed and Iggy Pop for a time and they three had great influence on each other. He also collaborates a lot with Brian Eno and you could say Eno crafted much of the sound that we identify as "Bowie" as he produced many of Bowie's most famous albums.

The later phases of his career he delved heavily into German synth and electro pop, even re-recording a few of his songs in German and releasing whole albums of very German inspired music.

As to what inspired him initially to produce music. well his wiki article states "Terry Burns, his half-brother, introduced him to modern jazz, his enthusiasm for players like Charles Mingus and John Coltrane led his mother to give him a plastic alto saxophone in 1961; he was soon receiving lessons from a local musician." - (Read more: David Bowie)

CAREER SWITCH

In 1998 David told the New York Times that by creating visual art it him helped to create better music. He said that if he had a creative obstacle in the music that he was working on, it would often revert to painting or drawing it out. In the painting or in the drawing arised a structure of the music what he was working on and this would produce a breakthrough.

SUPPORTED CHARITIES

In 1984 David participated in the English charity band Band Aid. The band was aimed to raise money to fight the famine in Ethiopia. Together with other famous English singers they recorded the song Do They Know It’s Christmas. It was a number one hit in multiple countries and raised a lot of money.

In 1985 Bob Geldof (co-founder of the band) organized the charity concert Live Aid. It was a 16 hour during concert and there were contemporaneous performances in various countries such as the US, the UK and The Hague. David Bowie performed in the Wembley Stadium in London. The event was broadcasted live in many countries and became one of the world’s biggest media spectacles ever watched. It was so successful that 245,4 million dollars was raised that evening also for the famine in Ethiopia.

David has also supported a lot of charities. The charities support the causes of abuse, AIDS & HIV, At-Risk/Disadvantaged Youths, children, disaster relief, economic/business support, education, family/parent support, health, human rights, hunger, miscellaneous, peace, poverty, weapons reduction, women rights.

CONCLUSION

David cares for the world and the people living on it. By creating visual art it him helped to create better music

He blurred gender lines with ultra-glam, over-the-top androgynous looks in his “Ziggy Stardust” days and later adopted a sharp, buttoned-up persona that was anything but stuffy. The ‘80s were filled with vibrant coloured suits, printed overcoats, and flashy accessories. And let’s not forget his ever-changing hair. One word: magical. Even with the release of his most recent album “Blackstar,” just four days ago, the legend was still serving style supremacy.

Why Did You Call The Exhibition David Bowie Is?

“The title is both a statement and an unfinished sentence, and poses the question David Bowie is – what? Our approach was to leave that question open, and to highlight the fact that there is no single answer.”

Bowie’s sartorial legacy has inspired generations of designers, from tailoring don Giorgio Armani to Belgium’s more avant garde Dries Van Noten. For his spring/summer collection this year Jean Paul Gaultier sent Bowie lookalikes down the runway, telling reporters he found the V&A show “absolutely incredible… You see how clever he is in all his projects, and how he connected to art.”

‘’ I’m a collector, I collect personalities and ideas.’’ - Bowie

‘’A tiger that is captured is wilder than a tiger in the wild.’’ - Bowie?
