John Lennon, David Bowie, Frank Zappa, the Who, the Velvet Underground, New Wave, Punk: this new book is a remarkable study examining the intertwined histories of pop musicians and the visual arts. Where once these musicians would have considered themselves entertainers, they now became artists. The groups and individuals featured here may still have become successful musicians if they hadn't studied art, but the kind of musicians that they became, and the kind of music that they became interested in, was significantly affected by their experience at art school.
This remarkable survey encompasses the worldwide history of art-school rock and brings the story right up to date by considering recent trends and the current practices of contemporary artist-musicians. And hence what they practiced--i.e., popular music--became an art form, not least because they said it was.
