This is dedicated to the two most beautiful people who led beautiful and artistic lives. Though one life was taken away from us, he will never be forgotten. Astrid's talent is timeless. Their lives and art will never be forgotten. This is for them.
Any questions, comments, requests, or submissions of pictures or facts are greatly appreciated.
“I felt that John was a sad person. He looked like a hard Teddy Boy, but he wasn’t at all - he was a very soft, gentle person. He was lovely and honest, especially when Stuart died. He asked me to take this picture then in Stuart’s studio. He said a typical John thing - ‘If you want to die, do that. But if you want to live, get on with it’. He was a very honest friend, and that is why I loved him so much.” -Astrid Kirchherr
“…When someone dies when you are young, you are naturally selfish, you over-cover it, you want to get over it quickly, get out and live. Talking about (Stuart) intensively has helped me. I felt relieved, after all these years. I had a big conscience for not mourning enough at the time.” -Astrid Kirchherr
Recalling Sutcliffe: “This was a strong personality, who can chiefly be explained as a gift from God”.—-Peter Brown
