Front Jacket Excerpt:
"To many people Elvis Presley was rock 'n' roll, a teenage revolutionary,
whose meteoric success was part of the American dream-until the dream went
badly wrong. In the years since his untimely death the image of "The King
of Rock 'n' Roll" has remained one of the most potent in the world's
mass-media, and Roger Taylor has now brought together for the first time a
collection of the remarkable paintings and drawings which embody this
dynamic image. Some of the images are adultatory, some sharply realistic,
some bizzare, some comic, some pure fantasy. All combine to show that, as
Bruce Springsteen said, 'nothing will ever take the place of that guy'.
The 1987 "Elvis In Art" out-of-print 1st edition hardcover book is in
excellent condition.
