Album Art-The Stories Behind Music's Iconic Album Covers
Dangerous--Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson wanted Dangerous to last forever—and with Mark Ryden’s mind-bending cover, he may have done just that. Painted by hand over six months, the artwork is a surreal circus of mystery, mythology, and self-mythologizing. You’ll find P.T. Barnum, Botticelli, Bosch, Bubbles, and Ben the rat. This is Neverland by way of Hieronymus Bosch, and MJ’s eyes—borrowed from Bad—watch you as you look. Grab a copy and listen along with us. Questions, comments, recommendations?
