2. David Robert Jones (born 8 January 1947), known by his stage
name David Bowie (pron.: /ˈ boʊ.i/ BOH-ee),[1] is an English
musician, actor, record producer and arranger. Bowie has been a
major figure in the world of popular music for over four
decades, and is renowned as an innovator, particularly for his work
in the 1970s. He is known for his distinctive voice as well as the
intellectual depth and eclecticism of his work.
Bowie first caught the eye and ear of the public in July 1969, when
his song "Space Oddity" reached the top five of the UK Singles
Chart. After a three-year period of experimentation he re-emerged
in 1972 during the glam rock era with the
flamboyant, androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust, spearheaded by
the hit single "Starman" and the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy
Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Bowie's impact at that
time, as described by biographer David Buckley, "challenged the
core belief of the rock music of its day" and "created perhaps the
biggest cult in popular culture."[2] The relatively short-lived Ziggy
persona proved merely one facet of a career marked by continual
reinvention, musical innovation and striking visual presentation.

4. Photos that I consider to make
him post modern, the
influences behind his clothing
and costume choice would
have had a pragmatic message
as well as some influence
possibly from other works of
art ‘Pastiche’

7. His new album artwork as you can tell is
minimalistic I n design keeping up with
todays simple trend this in my opinion is an
attempt at a post modern album however from
personal research I do not think it is.
