Nick Cave's inspiration: pictures and notes from his archive


Nick Cave in Yorkstraße, West Berlin, in August, 1985.
"'What you see in this book lives in the intricate world constructed around the songs, and which the songs inhabit,' writes Nick Cave in his introduction to Stranger Than Kindness. 'It is the material that gives birth to and nourishes the official work.' That intricate world includes drawings, lists, collages, scribbled notes and lyrics, found photographs and several handmade books, creased and stained, sometimes in his own blood. Therein the sacred and the profane, the biblical and the pornographic, exist side by side as they have done in Cave’s songs for about 40 years of often frantic creativity. ..."
