'8. RECORD SLEEVE: POWER CORRUPTION & LIES
BY NEW ORDER
Designed by Peter Saville (British, born 1955) and PSA
Issued by Factory Communications, Great Britain, 1983
Colour offset lithograph
Given by the designer
E.2292-1990
Saville has wilfully omitted type from the sleeve to intensify the presence of the fine art quotation, a flower painting by the 19th-century French artist, Fantin-Latour. It is a sedate image which conflicts with the unsettling title and the austere modernity of the music.' |
