THE JAM: A Beat Concerto - Paolo Hewitt

Published by Taschen, 1st edition, Cologne, 1998. Hardback with English text. This lavishly illustrated book showcases the art of Tahitian tattoos in black-and-white masterly reproduced photographs. These photographs evoke the memory of Gauguin’s Tahiti which was in the collective yearnings of the West a century ago. This amazing book came out of the mission where French Vogue sent fashion photographer Gian Paolo Barbieri on a photo assignment, where he fell in love with the dreamy Polynesian and its rich artistic traditions. Complemented by two essays on skin by Michel Tournier and The History of Tattooing by Raymond Graffe, this book looks at tattooing as an artistic practice from all angles. A great inspiration book for tattoo artists...
