Description
Gered Mankowitz took a brilliant series of photographs in February of 1967. Three “smoking” shots against a thunder grey background have become so iconic during our lives, that I have painted several images from them.
Soon after he arrived in England, the Rolling Stones dandy (Brian Jones) took Jimi to “Granny Takes A Trip” (a trendy boutique on the King’s Road. Jimi loved the idea of dipping into girl’s clothes as a crossover (scarves & brooches) and carried off military jackets with some panache, so he took the icon’s image into a new level. Here he is, blowing a wispy cloud at the Establishment.
