Portrait Photos of Mick Jagger
Portrait photos of Mick Jagger which were taken by Colin Jones in 1967 are now on display in a new exhibit at London's National Portrait Gallery. The exhibit, entitled Mick Jagger, Young in the 60s, portrays the young star's confrontational attitude very well.
His trademark fashion sense is also brought to life in these pictures, showing how inspirational artists like the Stones were on popular culture of their generation. Mick Jagger represented an edginess which was ahead of its time in the 60s, with a harder sound and more disturbing lyrics than more idealistic groups of the era like the Beatles. The portraits of Jagger document the young star in all of his aggressive yet elegant glory. Knowing that he is one of a few rock stars to maintain a long and productive career makes the exhibit even more meaningful.
