Avery Pub Group, 1988. Softcover. Very Good. 11x11x0. In Very Good+ condition. Views showcases the first seven years of Roger Dean's work after his graduation from the Royal College of Art in 1968. It includes paintings and graphics; branding such as the Yes typography and the first Virgin Records logo; groundbreaking stage sets; and album art including iconic early Yes covers such as the award-winning Tales From Topographic Oceans. Roger Dean is internationally acclaimed as an artist and designer whose evocative and visionary images created a new genre. Made popular through the medium of album covers and posters, his work has sold in excess of 100 million copies. Roger became widely known in the 1970s for his album cover designs for Yes—including the classic logo now in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London—and a poll of Rolling Stone readers selected five of his designs in the top twenty best album covers of all time.

paperback. Good. Access codes and supplements are not guaranteed with used items. May be an ex-library book.

Classic, 70s fantasy/sci-fi art from its best known British exponent (who actually studied furniture design at college!). I remember the book from the art room at school, my art teacher having recently been to a Dean show. The original, large, square format paperback includes an interesting article on his marbling technique and is infinitely preferable to the modern hardback, in my opinion. It should also be of interest to fans of progressive rock bands such as Greenslade and Yes for whom he designed many LP covers, contained within. Note a name is written on inside front page cover
