Home Actor David Bowie HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers January 2024 David Bowie Instagram - GOT THE RECORD AND THE T-SHIRTS? “I like the tee shirts…” Never need an excuse to post a Steve Schapiro shot of David Bowie. As you no doubt know, this particular one was taken when Bowie appeared with Cher on her CBS TV show in September 1975, the show aired in November 1975. The same image was used for the 40th anniversary Golden Years picture disc and an official 45th anniversary Young Americans T-shirt. However, a T-shirt utilising another picture of Steve‘s from the show was made available as the ON STAGE T-shirt in various colours in 1976 (see third image) and is now quite the collectors’ item. Do you still have yours? #BowieSchapiro #BowieCher #DBTshirt

David Bowie Instagram – BOWIE’S BUSTER KEATON TRIBUTES “He’s Chameleon, Comedian, Corinthian and Caricature…” The first image here is another fine Steve Schapiro portrait from 1975. As you can see, David is pictured with Rudi Blesh‘s biography of Buster Keaton. Schapiro remembers how David was impressed with the photographer’s connection to Keaton: “From the moment Bowie arrived, we seemed to hit it off. Incredibly intelligent, calm, and filled with ideas, he talked a lot about Alistair Crowley whose esoteric writings he was heavily into at the time. When David heard that I had photographed Buster Keaton, one of his greatest heroes, we instantly became friends.” Bowie even used a full-page 1964 Schapiro shot of Keaton in New York inside the 1976 Isolar Tour programme. (2nd image) Bowie references Keaton in at least a couple of his videos. In the 1977 Stanley Dorfman-directed Be My Wife promo, he performs against a bleached-out background in this heartfelt plea for marital union and somehow manages to appear nonchalant and anguished at the same time. Apparently, Bowie’s make-up and mannerisms in the video were a nod to Buster himself. (3rd image) The Keaton look was reprised more obviously and to wonderful effect throughout the Miracle Goodnight video in 1993. (4th image) A couple more images may or may not have been as a result of David watching Keaton’s movies. Perhaps the links are a little tenuous, but here they are anyway. The 5th image is Sukita’s famous shot from 1973 wherein Bowie mirrors Keaton’s pose in the film The High Sign. (6th image) The 7th slide is the 1971 edition of the KEATON paperback that Bowie is holding in the first image and the still of Keaton as a sailor is from the film The Navigator. Finally, the last picture by @blamsnap is from the 2000 BowieNet Roseland concert when Bowie dressed nautically, Sailor being his chatroom nickname. KEATON is a book that David was clearly fond of, but it’s another that didn’t make it into BOWIE’S TOP 100 BOOKS – THE COMPLETE LIST: https://www.davidbowie.com/blog/2013/10/1/bowies-top-100-books-the-complete-list (Linktree in bio) #BowieBookLover #BowieSchapiro #BowieKeaton
David Bowie Instagram – BOWIE’S AMERICAN LIBRARIES READ CAMPAIGN AND THE IDIOT “Calling Sister Midnight, Well, I’m an idiot for you…” Back in 2013 we posted BOWIE’S TOP 100 BOOKS – THE COMPLETE LIST: https://www.davidbowie.com/blog/2013/10/1/bowies-top-100-books-the-complete-list (Linktree in bio) In 1986 photographer Chalkie Davies produced the portraits here of Bowie with Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Idiot*, a book not on the list, but that’s no reason not to view these images again. They were made for the American Library Association‘s READ campaign, and specifically for the 1987 David Bowie for America’s Libraries READ poster, and associated items such as bookmarks. * David suggested the title for the Iggy Pop album of the same name. He also took the cover shot of Iggy based on Erich Heckel’s painting Roquairol. The photograph is often miscredited to Andrew Kent. Perhaps Iggy can remember the moment? @iggypopofficial @chalkiedavies #BowieBookClub #BowieBookLover #FyodorDostoevskyTheIdiot #IggyPopTheIdiot
