Roger Dean
Roger Dean, is world-famous for his legendary
album cover designs and concepts. He is best known for his partnership
with the progressive rock band Yes and his album covers are peerless. As
Yes guitarist Steve Howe once explained that there was a pretty tight
bond between the sound of YES and Roger Deans art. Dean’s art is
characterized by dreamy, space-like landscapes, floating islands and
fantasy habitats. He primarily works with watercolors, but many of his
paintings make brilliant use of other artistic media such as gouache,
ink, enamel, crayon and collage. Dean is also a highly respected
calligrapher, designing logos and titles to compliment his paintings.
Besides his impeccable and incomparable album covers for Yes, he has
also designed album covers for the rock bands, Uriah Heep, Asia, Atomic
Rooster and Budgie and for artists Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman.
