As he himself said, 'It's not what you steal, it's how you use it!'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA study of the people from whom Bowie borrowed from is long overdue. Bowie's own genius is beyond question, but Nick Smart teases out the elements on which Bowie built his success. His profound sense of artifice, his ability to tap into the zeitgeist of his times and his gift for gathering ideas and influences from a variety of sources and rearranging them to produce not only new perspectives but also brand-new ideas made him the artist he became. Having interviewed dozens of David Bowie's friends and collaborators as joint editor of David Bowie Glamour magazine, Nick finds himself with an enviable perspective about what - and who - made the David Bowie that is celebrated worldwide today. He describes the influences that Bowie picked up on and examines the creative ideas drawn from those he surrounded himself with to produce a unique portrait of a unique star and the myriad ideas that inspired him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 260\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 7.7 x 5.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 27, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47193447989497,"sku":"9780857162786","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/hg6DuSbANx9780857162786_5cd157e5-025d-4bce-b129-eacbced98b41.webp?v=1767906091","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/david-bowie-the-collector-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
