ELVIS IN ART

RESERVE BOOKS

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 PAINTINGS AND DRAWINGS WHICH EMBODY THIS DYNAMIC IMAGE.

SOME OF THE IMAGES ARE ADULATORY, SOME SHARPLY REALISTIC, SOME BIZARRE, SOME COMIC, SOME PURE FANTASY. ALL COMBINE TO SHOW THAT, AS BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN SAID, 'NOTHING WILL EVER TAKE THE PLACE OF THAT GUY'.
