On what would be the last day of his life, John Lennon posed for photographs with Yoko Ono in a session with photographer Annie Liebovitz. One of the pictures, a naked Lennon curled around and kissing a clothed Ono, became the cover for Rolling Stone magazine’s tribute to him.
That iconic image published a month after his December 1980 death has been ranked the top magazine cover of the last 40 years by a panel of magazine editors, artists and designers.
Annie Leibovitz is a American portrait photographer whose style is one of close colloboration between the subject and the person behind the lens.The evocative shots have attracted acclaim and critics with equal charm.
