#FT2012 Debate goes on. Now is the turn of Emanuela Mora

#FT2012 Chris Breward is concluding his speech on David Bowie's iconography

#FT2012 Breward: Lodger represented a deliberate step into a world in which Schiele became the art director for a futuristic horror movie

#FT2012 Breward: 1979’s Lodger, the final album of the ‘Berlin triptych’ marked a watershed in terms of the design-concept

#FT2012 Breward: By the release of Low and ‘Heroes’ the following year, the transition to Europe was complete

#FT2012 Breward: 4 albums produced between 1976 and 1979 betray both the vicissitudes of Bowie’s personal, inner-tumult

#FT2012 Breward: Diamond Dogs coincided with Bowie’s self-enforced exile, first to NYC and Los Angeles and then to Lake Geneva and Berlin

#FT2012 Breward: Ziggy was famously killed off by his progenitor at a dramatic concert at the Hammersmith Odeon in July 1973

#FT2012 Breward: As a contemporary fan of the time recalled, ‘Bowie was magic and he was supreme. He had the qualities of a type of ruler

#FT2012 BREWARD: Ziggy’s heart-stopping image bestrode four album covers

#FT2012 BREWARD: In a period of conflicting sexual identity Bowie shrewdly exploits the confusion surrounding the male and female roles

#FT2012 BREWARD: Jagger had long since laid claim to that territory but Bowie is flirting more determinedly w/ territory of sexual ambiguity

#FT2012 BREWARD: By 1971 Bowie is the ultimate odalisque, resplendent in his provocation

#FT2012 BREWARD: after the release of Space Oddity Bowie had both escaped from his rut and established a more suggestive creative grounding
