1,000 Word Dept: Mati Klarwein's Album Art

Posted almost 5 years ago
Since posting that pic of the cover of Miles Davis' Bitches Brew LP I've done a little more looking around and found some more of "*Mati Klarwein's*":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mati_Klarwein art, one of them you might already know..."...Carlos Santana saw a reproduction of the Annunciation in a magazine and wanted it for the cover of his all time best selling Abraxas album. It did me a world of good. I saw the album pinned to the wall in a shaman's mud hut in Niger and inside a Rastafarian's ganja hauling truck in Jamaica. I was in good global company..." no shite, dude...if you want to check more of his works or learn more about his music-influenced pieces "*check out his site*":http://www.matiklarweinart.com/en/gallery/annunciation-1961.htm
