The origins of Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign's cover artwork for their new collaborative album, Vultures, can be traced back to the renowned 19th century painter, Caspar David Friedrich. Playboi Carti shared the cover in a post on his Instagram Story, earlier this week. It appears to feature a reworking of Friedrich's Landscape with Graves.
Friedrich is best known for his rich landscapes in which he typically silhouettes a protagonist against a vast backdrop. His most notable works include Chalk Cliffs on Rügen (1818) and Wanderer above the Sea of Fog (1818).
