The Wonders of Life on Earth - Yokoo details
Tadanori Yokoo, aesthetic of the end, detail
One of the best things about viewing art online for me is the ability to stare at details for as long as I want to, and sometimes to blow up those details. I've isolated some of my favorite sections of Tadanori Yokoo's posters, which I posted back in October 2008.
Bio found online: "Perhaps best known for his '70s album covers for Miles Davis, Santana, the Beatles, etc., Tadanori Yokoo is arguably the most influential Japanese graphic designer of the Twentieth Century. He is also a well known artist, photographer, and designer of installations."
I just realized I'm in the second week of the second year of this blog.
