About
Jim Flora was the unknown "creative granddaddy" of the present day generation of artists and illustrators. His atomic age album covers for Columbia and RCA featured grotesque yet comic Picasso-like figures rendered in a cartoonish, two-dimensional panic. They set a standard of fresh design, bringing Surrealism and geometric abstractions reminiscent of those of Stuart Davis to commercial art and were widely imitated at the time. Among the prominent artists and illustrators today who are strongly influenced by Flora's art are Tim Biskup, Gary Baseman, SHAG, J. D. King and Melinda Beck. - NY Times Contact
