Made in the UK: The Music of Attitude 1977-1983
This book is a collection of images that document the Punk scene that erupted in England in the late 70's to early 80's, all the images are shot by Janette Beckman. The cover grabs your attention using an over saturated black and white image of a group of punks against an, again an over saturated, British flag. Yet the flag is in colour, this demonstrates the clash between the punks and what the flag stands for, a massive part of the punk revolution. The white text against the black background also adds to the bold/brash feeling of the book before you even open to the first page.
"When punk first rocked, the rough and rugged style on the streets was a world away from the super-slick music videos and corporate stylists that were to follow. And photographer Janette Beckman was on the front line of that hyper-energized time, capturing “the look” of the musicians and kids who were loudly defining an era. Collected for the first time in Made in the UK, Beckman’s powerful portraits celebrate the music and the attitude of Punk, Mod, Skinhead, 2 Tone, and Rockabilly culture in the UK"
