David Bowie on set, The Man Who Fell to Earth, 1975
ABOUT THIS PIECE
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 Gitane cigarette he's lighting. In my defence (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. --Geoff MacCormack
