can anyone tell me the name of the artist or piece of artwork from the cover of Graceland? I have looked everywhere and can´t come up with a name!

I know a man called Phillip Hough worked on the graphics for the album..he might be it.

The liner notes say that it´s from the Langmuir Collection, Peabody Museum of Salem, and it was photographed by Mark Sexton. But they don´t say who did it.

I´d be willing to bet it´s in the "Ethiopia, the Christian Art of an African Nation, the Langmuir Collection" paperback book.

You could buy it here link (I´m not sure if this is the book including the cover picture, but Brian is betting ;-) )

But the artist Stanislaw Chojnacki makes pictures like this one:

Looks very similar to the original IMO.

Ok...What´s the secret of getting pics onto here? :-) And yes they do look very similar.

If it´s as Old as it looks tha chances are no one knows who painted it originally.

you have to know a little bit about html, then you can include a picture.

1. find the link to the picture on the internet and copy it (STRG-C)

2. open a image tag - write ´<img´

3. then ´src=´ (for source)

4. place the link (STRG-V)

5. close the image tag with ´>´

(all without the ´ characters!)
