CHARLES WHITE III (DATES UNKNOWN) "Pink Radio." Record album cover illustration forChuck Berry's Golden Decade Vol. 1 (Chess, 1972). Airbrushed ink on board. 18 x 33 inches, framed to 24 x 38 ½ inches. Accompanying the artwork are copies of both the American and Canadian LPs.
White's career spanned more than three decades and helped define the aribrush artwork look that was popularized during the 1970s and 1980s. The imagery presented on this artwork is at once nostalgic, of course, but also somewhat tinged by melancholy with the wilting flowers and scattered candy. The two record album was orignally released to great acclaim in 1967, and in preparation for the release of Volumes 2 and 3, Chess produced this 1972 version with the White artwork. White's other album artwork includes Chuck Berry's Golden Decade Vol. 3, also offered in this sale.
