RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

For 1970's Bridge Over Troubled Water, the front cover photo by Abbott Mills & Peter Powell is very fine, but it's the back cover shot that's special.
Album cover Simon and Garfunkel Bridge Over Troubled Water Simon stands, wearing a coat & plaid scarf. The much taller Garfunkel stands behind him. Album back cover, with credits & lyrics Profile shot of the two walking; Garfunkel walks tall, leaning slightly backwards, while Simon, behind him, leans his head on Artie's back.

And the Simon & Garfunkel LP covers got even better as we got into the later 60s:

📷 Guy Webster's great shot for Sounds of Silence,

and to top things off,
📷 Richard Avedon's portrait of Paul & Artie, for Bookends
Album cover Simon & Garfunkel Sounds of Silence The two walking up a rural road; they both turn back to look at the camera. Album cover Bookends / Simon & Garfunkel Black & white head & shoulders shot of the two

I have very fond memories of the first four Simon & Garfunkel LPs. Great music, of course, but also great album photos.

Paul Simon by Michel Delsol, 1986

"He trusts himself & he pushes himself. That’s a very good combination. If one part of that equation isn’t there, then you’re in trouble."

Happy birthday Paul Simon 🎂
📷 Michael Putland, 1986

"His songs’ narrators are often lonely & isolated, teetering between estrangement & a longing for connection, between hope for the next generation & intimations of doom."

Cinematography Emmanuel Lubezki Clive Owen as Thelonius "Theo" Faron, a former activist embittered by the death of his son.. “As the sound of the playgrounds faded, the despair set in. Very odd, what happens in a world without children's voices.” The greatest tragedy of the human condition is the ability to see beauty and wonder, yet be blind to the suffering that surrounds us…
