This was enhanced by his drug-related arrests, sexually charged on-stage antics, provocative song lyrics, and his role in ''Performance''. One of his biographers, [[Christopher Andersen]], describes him as "one of the dominant cultural figures of our time", adding that Jagger was "the story of a generation".{{sfn|Andersen|2012|p=3}} Jagger, who at the time described himself as an [[Anarchism|anarchist]] and espoused the leftist slogans of the era, took part in a demonstration against the [[Vietnam War]] outside the [[Embassy of the United States, London|US Embassy]] in London in 1968. This inspired him to write "[[Street Fighting Man]]" that same year.{{sfn|Andersen|2012|pp=179–180}} In 1967, [[Cecil Beaton]] photographed Jagger's naked buttocks, a photo that sold at [[Sotheby's]] auction house in 1986 for $4,000.{{sfn|Andersen|2012|p=139}} Jagger was reported to be a contender for the anonymous subject of [[Carly Simon]]'s 1972 hit song "[[You're So Vain]]", on which he sings backing vocals.{{sfn|Andersen|2012|p=265}} Pop artist [[Andy Warhol]] painted [[Mick Jagger (Warhol screenprints)|a series of silkscreen portraits of Jagger]] in 1975, one of which was owned by [[Farah Diba]], wife of the [[Mohammad Reza Pahlavi|Shah of Iran]]. It hung on a wall inside the royal palace in [[Tehran]].{{sfn|Andersen|2012|p=314}} In 2010, a retrospective exhibition of portraits of Jagger was presented at the festival [[Rencontres d'Arles]], in France. The catalogue of the exhibition is the first photo album of Jagger and shows his evolution over 50 years.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.contrastobooks.com/vmchk/Catalogue/MICK-JAGGER-THE-PHOTOBOOK-UK.html |title=Mick Jagger – The Photobook – UK |access-date=2 March 2011 |publisher=Contrasto Books |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110708191426/http://www.contrastobooks.com/vmchk/Catalogue/MICK-JAGGER-THE-PHOTOBOOK-UK.html |archive-date=8 July 2011}}</ref> Jagger's relationships served as the inspiration for the theatrical show parody "Jumpin' Jack", written by Lyle Victor Albert.
