About

From the first images featured on rock and roll record sleeves through contemporary music videos and magazines, graphic design has played an integral role in visualizing music.

For instance, Andy Warhol’s artwork for the
Velvet Underground and Peter Saville’s iconic Joy Division album covers are forever burned in our collective cultural memory as images synonymous
with the music.

In An Expression of the Inexpressible features contemporary international designers whose
work showcases the current interactions of music
and design.
