Upon graduating, Dean began painting album covers for bands in the late 1960s, first collaborating with Yes in 1971 and providing artwork for most of their albums through the band’s more recent reconfiguration as Asia. Misty exotic landscapes persist in his artwork following his formal education at Canterbury College of Art and Royal College of Art in London, where he studied design. Over 50 years, that’s not very many.”ĭean grew up mainly in England, Greece, Cyprus and, from the age of 12 to 14, Hong Kong, where Chinese landscape painting made an indelible impression on him. ![]() If you’re talking major paintings, maybe at most, 130. “To be honest, there aren’t that many originals. “We have sold many millions of posters and prints, but not many people have originals,” says Dean. On display at the Los Angeles Convention Center will be work including eight acrylic canvases, 16 pencil drawings and 16 logos and smaller works. You don’t think that way about a download, you don’t really think that way about a CD,” says Dean, whose work will be presented by Trading Boundaries at the 24th L.A. “For me, in that very brief period when vinyl was king - we’re talking about a period of barely 25 years - the idea of the art and the music really made the perfect gift. Dean’s images of otherworldly landscapes seemed inspired by the bands’ flighty orchestrations, astutely capturing the zeitgeist of the genre. ^^ trick question: I can’t paint to save myself.To fans of prog rock, Roger Dean is an art icon, his work gracing the cover of numerous albums by bands from Gentle Giant to Uriah Heep, but mostly Yes and the band that grew out of it, Asia. ^ deliberate exaggeration to emphasise the point. Good use of your lockdown.” If I said I painted a picture of a river on a sunny day, with some trees, and people enjoying picnics, you might say “Ok …?” But if I said I said I painted a picture of a river on a sunny day, with some trees, and people enjoying a picnic, using pontilism as a technique, would you say “Meh, you just copied Seurat”? ^^ If said I painted a picture of a river, you might say “Good for you. Stand too far back - it’s a picture, of things, using colours - and everything is clearly derivative.^ Stand too close and you focus too much on the incidental details - different bark on the tree, different colour pallet, different aspect ratio, etc - which clearly mark the images as incomparably different.^ ![]() I think there are dangers in both standing too close to close to the subject, and stand to far from it. I think that you’re highlighting the difference between the way the judge looked at the case, and the way the author of the article looked at it. My sympathies lie with Dean in the overall case, but not in this particular example. But it’s also reasonable to argue - I think - that both artists looked at how horses actually run and created a good representation of that.ĭisclosure: not a fan of Cameron. Does that mean Cameron copied Dean here? Well, maybe - the angle of advance and framing is similar, especially when the still from the movie is lifted from it’s context. Advance frame by frame and eventually you will get an image of a horse-like creature galloping through a forest with a rider on its back and it’s legs just so, and in my mind it is the particular configuration of the legs which really drives the resonance. But it’s not - it’s a still from a motion picture. If Cameron’s image were a painting then absolutely, slam dunk. ![]() 15 “he fact that the “Hallelujah Mountains” appear in ‘a wholly dissimilar and dynamic medium, in which camera angles, lighting, and focus are changing’ rapidly, no reasonable jury could find that Defendants’ and Plaintiffs’ works are substantially similar.” 16 Since Dean’s work is a painting and therefore static, and Avatar ’s is a motion picture, and therefore fluid, one cannot be substantially similar to the other. However I think the judege makes a good point (quoting from the article): So superficially they look practically identical. ![]()
