'I looked up to Stu, I depended on him to tell me the truth… Stu would tell me if something was good and I'd believe him.' – John Lennon
A book of many years dedicated research Stuart is created by some of those that were closest to Stuart Sutcliffe: his sister Pauline Sutcliffe, his fiancée Astrid Kirchherr, and his friends Cynthia Lennon, Jürgen Vollmer and Paul McCartney.
As such, Stuart is a deeply personal tribute to this talented artist who was a close friend of John Lennon and an original member of The Beatles. This lovingly designed signed edition begins with an account of Stuart's childhood and traces the development of his artistic talent, from his time at Prescot Grammar School through to his days as a student at The Liverpool College of Art.
'Includes color plates, private photos and personal letters, and a facsimile reproduction of an entire sketchbook from Hamburg.' – The Washington Post
Stuart's close friendship with John Lennon and his deep love for Astrid Kirchherr are each explored more intimately than ever before.
Stuart is signed by the book's late authors, Pauline Sutcliffe and Kay Williams, and by photographer Astrid Kirchherr who provides an introduction to the work.
The two volumes combine to provide both the first comprehensive catalogue of Stuart Sutcliffe's art, and an unrivalled view into the formative years of the band later to conquer the world as The Beatles.
The edition is presented in a laminated slipcase featuring two of Astrid Kirchherr's classic images of Stuart and The Beatles.
