Views Tapa blanda - 1988

Paperback. Very Good.

Classic, 70s fantasy/sci-fi art from its best known British exponent (who actually studied furniture design at college!). I remember the book from the art room at school, my art teacher having recently been to a Dean show. The original, large, square format paperback includes an interesting article on his marbling technique and is infinitely preferable to the modern hardback, in my opinion. It should also be of interest to fans of progressive rock bands such as Greenslade and Yes for whom he designed many LP covers, contained within. Note a name is written on inside front page cover

It includes paintings and graphics; branding such as the Yes typography and the first Virgin Records logo; groundbreaking stage sets; and album art including iconic early Yes covers such as the award-winning Tales From Topographic Oceans. Roger Dean is internationally acclaimed as an artist and designer whose evocative and visionary images created a new genre. Made popular through the medium of album covers and posters, his work has sold in excess of 100 million copies. Roger became widely known in the 1970s for his album cover designs for Yes—including the classic logo now in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London—and a poll of Rolling Stone readers selected five of his designs in the top twenty best album covers of all time.
