Diseño - Piper Gates Design (sydbarrettpinkfloydesp.blogspot.com)
Cuando vi en algún lado el libro de colorear de Syd Barrett, me quedé de piedra.
La idea como tal, me parece horrenda, pero es evidente que es todo una broma de un diseñador brillantísimo, Ian Percival. Libros, revistas, películas, etc... todo inexistente.
Disfruten ustedes, por favor de Piper Gates Design. No tiene desperdicio.

Syd Barrett - Art and Letters
18/03/11 - 10/04/11
by Rachel on 2011-01-28 13:50:23 UTC
The myth behind some of rock n’ roll’s most outrageous stories, Syd Barrett was the pioneering songwriter and musical visionary of the greatest psychedelic rock band in history, Pink Floyd. For the first time, the largest collection of unseen photographs, personal love letters and original artworks will go on display offering an unprecedented insight into the inspired life of this rock legend.
“Syd would be so surprised and pleased to know this exhibition is taking place. He was never more content than when sketching or painting, be it cartoons, abstracts or still life. Syd felt above all he was an artist and loved experimenting with different mediums, sometimes just to see what might happen!” Rosemary Breen (Syd’s sister)
Syd Barrett | Art and Letters, will be the first and largest exhibition of its kind, offering a rare insight into the lesser known side to the original Pink Floyd frontman’s inspiration and creativity. The exhibition will include a series of previously unseen photographs ranging from intimate images from Syd’s childhood holidays through to the psychedelic hothouse of 1960s progressive rock as well as personal love notes written during the early days of Pink Floyd. Not only a stunning documentary of Syd Barrett, the exhibition features a series of completely unseen photographs of early Pink Floyd, including the first ever images of the band playing live in Denmark and images by the photographer Mick Rock he had considered lost forever. The exhibition will also include an extraordinary collection of Syd Barrett’s original artworks – the largest to date.
Syd Barrett | Art and Letters will put the artist in a completely new light, allowing us to celebrate his life as an exceptionally gifted painter as well as iconic musician. This exhibition accompanies the publication of the book Barrett: The definitive visual companion by Essential Works. See www.barrettbook.com
Photographs and letters, part of this remarkable exhibition, reveal the real Syd Barrett, from the energetic and dynamic live performer to the sensitive private individual. Sessions of The Madcap Laughs and Barrett albums will be exhibited, demonstrating Barrett at his most outgoing and eclectic best. Images also visit the infamous London Free School gigs, the launch of IT at the Roundhouse and the psychedelic UFO nights.
“I was standing at the front but couldn’t move, I could only take pictures of Syd Barrett and Nick Mason. After the concert, Syd Barrett said ‘Why do the audience scream so much? Why don’t they clap?” Nick Aarestrup Roddik, photographer at The Boom Dancing Center, 1967
Love letters, such as those to his first girlfriends, Libby and Jenny, reveal an intimate, generous and loving side to Barrett’s character. These notes also document in detail the birth of Pink Floyd and reveal some of the early background behind the band that went on to encapsulate the 60’s underground music scene and gain a legion of loyal supporters.
“Syd Barrett’s continued fame as a musician would have surprised someone who spent the majority of his life as a
painter & writer, and who valued newness over all else. Despite Syd routinely disposing of his paintings, Syd Barrett | Art and Letters is a comprehensive display of Syd’s noted originality, unique imagination and commitment. The exhibition presents the most vivid picture that we are likely to ever see and is above all, something new.” Will Shutes, coordinator of Syd Barrett | Art and Letters

Syd Barrett
Have you seen the roses? There's a whole lot of colours.
Syd Barrett
I do tend to take lines from other lines I like, and then write around them.
Syd Barrett
I don't really read a lot. Maybe I should.
Syd Barrett
I don't think I'm easy to talk about. I've got a very irregular head. And I'm not anything that you think I am anyway.
Syd Barrett
I like songs that are simple.

Pink Floyd - High Hopes
BEYOND THE HORIZON OF THE PLACE WE LIVED WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
IN A WORLD OF MAGNETS AND MIRACLES
OUR THOUGHTS STRAYED CONSTANTLY AND WITHOUT BOUNDARY
THE RINGING OF THE DIVISION BELL HAD BEGUN
ALONG THE LONG ROAD AND ON DOWN THE CAUSEWAY
DO THEY STILL MEET THERE BY THE CUT
THERE WAS A RAGGED BAND THAT FOLLOWED IN OUR FOOTSTEPS
RUNNING BEFORE TIMES TOOK OUR DREAMS AWAY
LEAVING THE MYRIAD SMALL CREATURES TRYING TO TIE US TO THE GROUND
TO A LIFE CONSUMED BY SLOW DECAY
THE GRASS WAS GREENER
THE LIGHT WAS BRIGHTER
WHEN FRIENDS SURROUNDED
THE NIGHTS OF WONDER
LOOKING BEYOND THE EMBERS OF BRIDGES GLOWING BEHIND US
TO A GLIMPSE OF HOW GREEN IT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE
STEPS TAKEN FORWARDS BUT SLEEPWALKING BACK AGAIN
DRAGGED BY THE FORCE OF SOME SLEEPING TIDE
AT A HIGHER ALTITUDE WITH FLAG UNFURLED
WE REACHED THE DIZZY HEIGHTS OF THAT DREAMED OF WORLD
ENCUMBERED FOREVER BY DESIRE AND AMBITION
THERES A HUNGER STILL UNSATISFIED
OUR WEARY EYES STILL STRAY TO THE HORIZON
THOUGH DOWN THIS ROAD WEVE BEEN SO MANY TIMES
THE GRASS WAS GREENER
THE LIGHT WAS BRIGHTER
THE TASTE WAS SWEETER
THE NIGHTS OF WONDER
WITH FRIENDS SURROUNDED
THE DAWN MIST GLOWING
THE WATER FLOWING
THE ENDLESS RIVER
FOREVER AND EVER
KID: {GURBLING) HI.
MAN: IS THAT CHARLIE?
KID: YES
MAN: HELLO, CHARLIE.(KID HANGS UP)
MAN: GREAT.(MAN HANGS UP)
