Graphic designer and artist Storm Thorgerson has died of cancer at age 69. Once described as a “modern day Dali, Magritte and Man Ray all wrapped into one”, his hypnotic, outlandish, mostly photographic images became as much a part of the mystique of the bands with whom he worked as their music.
He floated a giant inflatable pig over Battersea Power Station to produce the cover for Pink Floyd’s Animals (1977); conjured up the dreamlike, but decidedly creepy image of blonde-haired, naked children climbing the Giant’s Causeway for Led Zeppelin’s Houses Of The Holy (1973); and, more recently, created the image of four men playing cards in the desert for Muse’s Black Holes and Revelations (2006).
