What is your favourite Storm Thorgerson PF artwork??

Post by THE LUNATIC DARKSIDE 73 »

We all share a deep love for the creativity of the great Barrett, Waters, Gilmour, Wright & Mason. What about the genius of Storm Thorgerson the artwork on PF albums and singles over the years are incredible.

The most obvious being the legendry DOTM or the invention on WYWH, for me however it would have to be Animals living in London l could not pass Battersea Power Station without feeling a tingle down my spine. The idea belonged to Roger, however, without Storm could they have executed the idea to such great effect.

I really like the art he did for the Echoes compiliation, where he included bits of PF art from throughout their history. Two other favorites are Lullabelle III on AHM and the WYWH handshake. Then there's that classic PF Back Catalogue poster :wink: :)

WYWH and Dark Side are the best I think.

I love the WYWH artwork, but I also REALLY like the stuff in A Momentary Lapse of Reason- especially the beds on the beach. Another favourite: The Tree of Half-Life..

"Ummagumma", with that idea of "mise en abyme" picture's structure.
It is at the same time surprising, beautiful and sophisticated.
