Andy Warhol; where the modernist becomes the designer

Andy Warhol, is a huge name in art; chances are, if you've heard of art, you've heard of him. But when he was a little less known, he was a designer. A designer peddling the forefront of the 1950's modernist era, illustrating and designing record covers alike.

His influences were clearly  deriving from the modernist era he was operating in; with some covers showing an obvious intermedial link; such as the one above. With his illustration, he displayed the signature playing style that the artist had; I don't think there is possibly a greater example of intermedial contextualisation on a modernist record sleeve.

If ever there was ever a strong example of modernism on record sleeves, a sleeve designed exclusively with rough handwriting, in a time of large, bold, colourful imagery.
