Richard Hell

  ,Hot and Cold: The Works of Richard Hell,
, is a stupendous compendium of poetry, prose, photography, illustrations, interviews, essays, lyrics, and more by acclaimed artist, author, and rock star, Richard Hell. Since he first came to public attention in the 1970s, Richard Hell has made a spectacular if specialized reputation for himself in every conceivable mediumâ€”from music, painting, and photography to fashion, design, and writing. A man with a vision, Hell was the Prophet of Punk: the originator of the spiked haircut; ripped, drawn-on, safety-pinned clothes; and the seminal punk anthems â€œLove Comes in Spurtsâ€ and â€œ(I Belong to the) Blank Generation.â€ ,â€œI came back to England determined. I had these images that I came back with, it was like Marco Polo, or Walter Raleigh. These are the things I brought back: the image of this distressed, strange thing called Richard Hell. And this phrase, â€˜the blank generation.â€™â€, â€”Malcolm McLaren
