Vapoo Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I’ve been obsessed with the artwork on Show Of Hands, and I’ve never been able to find out what art style it is. Does anyone have any knowledge of what it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Welcome to the forum Vapoo I'm not good with art terms, but that cover reminds me of a cross between Patrick Nagel and Picasso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Constructivist. The figures are even called "the rocking constructivists" ETS: here's a link to confirm https://www.rush.com/albums/a-show-of-hands/ Edited September 29, 2017 by goose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) It really looks like it has some expressionist influence, but it's also really simplistic.Expressionist stick figures. Edited September 29, 2017 by Mr. Not 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Here's more on constructivism. Check out the graphic design section to see the influence on drawing and painting. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructivism_(art) :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I totally forgot Hugh Syme wasn't involved with this and now I need to find out why. How does the "Art Of Rush" cover this album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
