Synopsis

Barrett is a premium quality, large format book, full of unseen and rare images of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd. It collects and catalogues for the first time all known artworks and photographs by Syd himself. The book is official, made in conjunction with the Barrett family and with access to the family art and photograph archive. Their recollections combine to reveal a new picture of Syd the creative, a man who was a dedicated, practising artist throughout his life. The book splits into three sections: Syd’s life in photographs – from growing up through to working and performing with Pink Floyd and his life as a solo artist. Unseen and unpublished illustrated letters sent to Libby Gausden-Chisman and Jenny Spires between 1962-1965, as Syd was finding himself as a painter and a musician. All of Syd’s existing work as a visual artist from 1962 until his death. The book contains over 250 images. These include: Over 100 completely unseen images and many more reproduced in fine art quality for the first time. Over 40 artworks including: paintings, drawings, mosaics, collages, and sculptures. Over 50 unseen photographs taken by Syd of his artworks, including: images of his “destroyed” works seen here for the first time, studies in preparation for his artworks, images of his work area. The Art section also includes: An extensive commentary on Syd’s artworks by Barrett art expert Will Shutes. Notes on Syd’s diaries, notebooks, scrapbooks, and his History of Art project.
