Queen In 1975

Andy Warhol, “Mick Jagger Screenprint Portfolio,”1975,

In the summer of 1975, Jagger and his wife Bianca rented Warhol’s house in Long Island. There, with a new superstar in proximity, Warhol took many snapshots of Jagger, all of which show the musician bare chested and fiercely expressive. In the shots, Jagger showcases a variety of moods, from sultry to carefree to defiant. 

Warhol later projected the photographs and used the images to trace his stylized line drawings. Thereafter, he combined these images with screened areas of solid color, allowing the photograph, lines and color to intersect dramatically. 

The colors have an evocative effect, highlighting Jagger’s portrait in an evocative manner. For instance, the blocks of color placed over Jagger’s eyes intensify his gaze into a sultry and confrontational glare.

Queen, 1974.

The thing is, with the Beatles and us, it was a very friendly relationship. It was also very cannily worked out, because in those days singles were coming out every six, eight weeks. And we’d try and time it so that we didn’t clash. I remember John Lennon calling me up and saying, “Well, we’ve not finished mixing yet.” “We’ve got one ready to go.” “OK, you go first.”
