About "David Bowie, The man who fell to earth, 1975"
Ref.: GMDB020. David chose this image from The Man Who Fell To Earth (1975) for publicity posters in the late seventies. I love the lines of this image - there seems to be a seamless energy drawn in by the shielded source of fire. I feel some guilt for being the one who turned him onto the Gitanes cigarette he is lighting. I my defense (and his), we did smoke this brand for aesthetic reasons; both of us being enamoured of Max Ponty's delightful artwork, which depicts a gypsy dancing girl shrouded in a plume of smoke.
