Exploding Hendrix, 1968


Martin Sharp, Exploding Hendrix, 1968‘Felix’s poster collection was very personal; he collected what he liked, rather than obsessively ticking things off a list. As a consequence he concentrated on artists he really admired such as Martin Sharp, the first graphic designer of Oz as well as a good friend and the principal artist for Big O posters. His Exploding Hendrix, based on a photograph by Linda Eastman – soon to be McCartney – is among the most evocative and iconic images of the 1960s’
