Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Seen and Not Seen
Review: Frank Olinsky, designer of numerous rock album covers in the '80s (and an influence on the look of early MTV), teamed up with David Byrne to coordinate this collection showcasing roughly sixty artists who visually interpret the songs of the Talking Heads. The impressive roster includes Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Barbara Krueger, Nam June Paik, Jenny Holzer, Edward Ruscha, Lynda Barry, and Robert Longo. Of course, Olinsky and Byrne both provide pieces, too. In the tradition of "The Illustrated Beatles Lyrics," this book celebrates the imagination that the songs inspire, and is the perfect compliment to the music of this phenomenal band. The lyrics are displayed in text next to each piece.
