A TRIBUTE TO LOU REED

Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground had a profound effect on my taste in Music.

November 2013 Challenge - Influential Music

ABOUT LOU - Lou Reed was the most literary of rock stars, one who aspired to make rock music that could stand on the same plane as works of literature,
and always thought of himself, to some degree, as a poet. Indeed, many of the obituary notices refer to Reed as a “punk poet,” or “poet of New York.”
The Velvet Underground are one of the more unusual fruits of the broad movement known as the “New American Poetry,” named after the title
of the epochal anthology edited by Donald Allen in 1960 which brought together under one banner the various avant-garde poetic communities of the 1950s,
especially the Beats, the New York School, and the Black Mountain poets. This movement—and in particular, the New York School of poetry—played
a surprisingly large role in the emergence of Velvet Underground, one of the most daring, original, and influential rock bands in history, and in the shape of Lou Reed’s career.

ABOUT THE VELVET UNDERGROUND - Andy Warhol managed the Velvet Underground and it was the house band at his studio, the Factory,
and his Exploding Plastic Inevitable events. The provocative lyrics of some of the band's songs gave a nihilistic outlook to some of their music.
Their 1967 debut album, The Velvet Underground & Nico (which featured German singer Nico, with whom the band collaborated),
was named the 13th Greatest Album of All Time, and the "most prophetic rock album ever made" by Rolling Stone in 2003.
In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked the band No. 19 on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".
The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, by Patti Smith.

You gave me some new inspiration, Lynn. Thanks! I make woodblock and solarplate prints, and as a starting point I had used this photoshop technique to eliminate the gray tones before carving the block or burning the plate. Then I shifted over to a technique that simulated the greyscale. Now, inspired by this great work of yours, I can't wait to get back to this technique again. All of the images on this page would make great prints, partly because you give such strength and prominence to the subject.
