{"product_id":"books-bob-crewe-by-donald-albrecht","title":"Bob Crewe","description":"Best known for having written and produced some of the seminal records of American popular culture from  Big Girls Don t Cry  for the Four Seasons to  Silence is Golden  for the Tremeloes and  Lady Marmalade  for LaBelle Bob Crewe was a multifaceted artist for whom a passion for painting and the visual arts provided a lifelong counterbalance to music. Collected here are more than 80 of Bob Crewe s artworks, stretching from his first forays into abstract expressionism in the 1950s and 1960s to more complex, tactile compositions made on his full-time return to painting in the 1990s accompanied by archival images and ephemera that reflect Crewe s simultaneous contribution to popular music. Essays by Jessica May and Peter Plagens explore the development of an artist whose influences ranged from Rauschenberg and Johns to Warhol and Bacon; legendary record producer Andrew Loog Oldham captures the period of radical experimentalism in which Crewe wrote many of the most memorable songs in the canon of modern pop; and Donald Albrecht s introduction ties together the many complementary aspects of Crewe s personal and creative lives.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53509747245329,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780847869794.jpg?v=1778166666","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-bob-crewe-by-donald-albrecht","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
