| Sumario: | [EN] Let’s go back to the 40’s, North America, record players, Jazz… illustration. An album cover’s analysis, the cover’s art in vinyl format. Such designs were part of the object itself, turning it into an open canvas for the creativity of designers and artists. There are some aspects in this subject that are well linked to the world of illustration; from the object’s packaging, whose format and characteristics suffered changes according to sociocultural and technological needs, to the generated images, in which we can focus in some aspects like the processes and the techniques used, the typography or the final arts. Traveling back in time, we discover how the image had greater impact on the musical context during the 40’s and 50’s, leading to some new stylistic forms and to a wide iconography generated for the most part by the work of the artist. In conclusion, we could consider this period as the starting point for the illustration of covers, with outstanding names like Alex Steinweiss, Jim Flora or David Stone Martin heading a long list of artists whose mission was based on illustrating Swing, Jazz and those new ways of making music that stirred up Northamerican’s culture from the old New Orleans. |
