First look inside the Linda McCartney retrospective at the Walker Art Gallery
The wives of great men are so often cast in a supporting role, their lives dedicated to helping their spouses from the wings of the world stage.
Not so Linda McCartney, whose creativity and artistic flair was central to the relationship with her husband and Beatle Paul.
This is one of the many takeaways from the Walker Art Gallery's retrospective of her extraordinary photography, which opens in Liverpool tomorrow.
The collection of more than 250 black and white bromide prints, colour C-types, Polaroids, cyanotypes and contact sheets demonstrates not only what a talent she was in her own right, but how this first attracted Paul McCartney and was central to their marriage until her death in 1998.
