Staying Alive - Unsterbliche Idole unserer Zeit - Zeichnungen und Worte

Our greatest idols and why they are unforgettable
It started with David Bowie and Prince, then came Aretha Franklin and Karl Lagerfeld, and most recently Tina Turner and David Lynch: important people who had been with us our whole lives suddenly passed away. Hamburg-based illustrator Alex Solman has dedicated unique illustrations to these personalities from the worlds of art, music, and science. Sometimes he draws the deceased with straight lines and dry humor. Other times with psychedelic brushstrokes and serious mourning. Staying Alive presents 210 portraits of the greatest people of our time, 80 of which are accompanied by pointed short texts. They show people who have achieved so much that they have become etched in our cultural memory; that they have become part of our own history. A book that is not intended as a tribute to the deceased, but as a gift to the survivors. And an invitation to rediscover or discover for the first time the work of the greatest idols of our era.
