Tuesday’s Tune: All You Need Is Love
Heinz Edelmann, the artist behind the 1968 animated Beatles film Yellow Submarine, has died at the age of 75. His psychedelic images had a huge influence on 1960′s culture. Edelmann’s work “had its own whimsical aesthetic”,
The bulbous Blue Meanies, which personify an evil mood as actual villains, pursue the innocent, well-coifed cartoon Beatles across an ever-shifting milieu of mysterious seas and holes that can be magically picked up and moved. The yellow submarine itself stops in an ocean of pulsating watches, representing time, to light a cigar for a friendly sea monster.Notably, the designs prefigured contemporary music videos, especially in their use of dancing typography. Letters spelling out the lyrics “Love is all you need” morph into a strobing neon wallpaper pattern.
Here is All You Need Is Love, from Yellow Submarine.
(Thanks Bruce)
