Ralph Gibson, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white photographic book cover features a high-contrast, graphic composition centred on the abstract details of a guitar. The fretboard and strings angle diagonally across the frame, intersected by clean white illustrative curves on a dark background. Bold uppercase typography runs vertically along the left edge reading Light Strings, with a subtitle above stating Impressions of the Guitar. The creators names, Ralph Gibson and Andy Summers, are printed cleanly along the bottom corners. The high-contrast monochromatic style creates a striking graphic aesthetic typical of publication and fine art covers.
