Designer Vaughan Oliver's album covers for the Pixies, the Cocteau Twins, Modern English and the Breeders defined an aesthetic and an era.
To those coming of age in the 1980s and ‘90s, album cover designer Vaughan Oliver created not only the look of the influential British record label 4AD, but conjured an imaginary realm that would influence generations of artists, graphic designers and pretty much anyone with an eye on image.
The designer’s death, at age 62, was confirmed by 4AD, which released a note that read, in part: “Without Vaughan, 4AD would not be 4AD, and it’s no understatement to say that his style also helped to shape graphic design in the late 20th century.”Vaughan Oliver created iconic album covers for artists including : Modern English, the Breeders, Red House Painters, Cocteau Twins, Scott Walker and the Pixies.“Vaughan Oliver taught me to appreciate quality.
Oliver’s most recognizable work includes the covers of the Pixies album “Doolittle,” the Cocteau Twins’ “Treasure,” the Breeders’ “Last Splash,” Modern English’s “After the Snow” and Bush’s “Razorblade Suitcase.”, adding that his mission was to create what he dubbed “aesthetic moods derived from the music, from the texture and atmosphere the music itself already had.
Oliver, though, added accents drawn from a conversation he had with the Pixies’ lead singer: “Black Francis broke my heart by telling me that successful pop music was simply the intellectual pursuit of good mathematics. Simple me — I thought it all came from the heart,” Oliver told Time Out. “Then I remembered that ‘golden section’ theory used in the composition of Renaissance painting, so I made my own grid to place over the monkey.
