Awesome, Rarely-Seen Pictures of David Bowie

By Cait Munro, Jan 11, 2016

Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane and other record covers will appear on six of the set of 10 stamps; the remaining ones will show Bowie in different incarnations while performing around the world, including on the Ziggy Stardust tour, in 1972, and on the Serious Moonlight tour, in 1983.

Bowie was innovative not only in his music but also in his fashion and his album designs, which incorporated or drew on the work of other inventive artists. Aladdin Sane, showing the musician in one of the many guises he adopted, features a cover photo by English fashion and portrait photographer Brian Duffy, while Bowie’s gesture in Masayoshi Sukita’s cover for Heroes (1977) took its inspiration from German artist Erich Heckel’s painting Roquairol, in which the subject strikes a similar pose.
