As the one form of music that has been a constant element in the popular music of the 20th and now 21st century, the visual art associated with the blues has been as varied and dynamic as the
music itself. Ranging from the artwork for printed music, album covers, and concert posters, to press advertising and promotional material, The Art of the Blues is a unique illustrated
celebration of the blues in popular culture. Arranged chronologically, the book shows how the music was reflected in the visual language of the time, ranging from the art deco graphics of the
interwar years, to 1960s psychedelia and beyond. The Art of the Blues promises to be a gorgeous illustrated coffee table book, perfect for gift-giving and close perusalsweet eye candy for
lovers of the blues.
