Hipgnosis Retrospective Exhibitiion - Aubrey Powell: "I really set a man on fire!"

 Dutch is a really beautiful language!

From the video description:

In het Groninger Museum is deze donderdag een grote overzichtstentoonstelling van de Londense ontwerpstudio Hipgnosis geopend.

De studio werd bekend dankzij legendarische albumcovers van onder meer Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, 10CC en Paul McCartney. Deze eerste grote overzichtstentoonstelling ter wereld is te zien tot 14 mei.

‘The Art of Hipgnosis’ neemt de bezoekers mee naar de tijd vóór de uitvinding van digitale fotografie en Photoshop. Het gaat om het ontwerp, het proces en de verhalen van enkele van de meest iconische albumcovers ooit gemaakt. De meest bekende is de prisma op de cover van ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ van Pink Floyd. Dat album viert op 3 maart zijn vijftigjarige jubileum.

Directeur Andreas Blühm van het Groninger Museum en Higpnosis-oprichter Aubrey Powell stelden de tentoonstelling samen. Alle foto’s en objecten van de expositie komen uit het privé-archief van Powell.

Interesting that they took that photo in Hollywood, I just assumed it was Pinewood studios, ... but I guess the light is better in Southern California so they flew to Los Angeles to take the photo, ...

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...

I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming.
