Reseña: Following her best-selling TASCHEN monograph Life in Photographs discover a more intimate and highly personal side of Linda McCartneys photographic work in The Polaroid Diaries. The collection focuses on McCartneys distinctive way of seeing the world and her family through charming and quirky portraits of Paul McCartney and the couples four children. We see them pulling faces and in matching pajamas. We see James pouring water on himself and Mary and Stella playing dress-up. Theres dancing eating horse riding and countless moments of everyday life on their farm in Southern England. As Paul says in the introduction: She would just see things. Many of her photos its just that one click. Youve got to recognise when a great photo is happening in front of you. And then youve got to snap it at exactly the right moment... And she did that so many times that it always impressed me. The Polaroid Diaries curates more than 200 of these right moments from the early 1970s until the mid-1990s along with a foreword by Chrissie Hynde and an essay by art critic Ekow Eshun. The book also features luminous landscapes across Scotland and Arizona as well as the odd celebrity as the likes of Steve McQueen and Adam Ant wander into the frame. Other pictures attest to her love of animals with compassionate images of cats lambs horses and hens. Its a pre-Instagram glimpse into the life of an extraordinary family a celebration of Lindas legacy as a fiercely committed artist and of the instant magic of Polaroid film.Also available in a signed Collectors Edition and in two limited Art Editions each with a print numbered and signed by Paul McCartney.
