Pink Floyd - The Final Cut - 1973
Storm Thorgerson, a founder member of Hipgnosis (designers of most of Pink Floyd's previous artwork), was passed over for the cover design. Instead, Waters created the album cover himself using photographs taken by his brother-in-law, Willie Christie.
To understand the Album Art you should also be familiar with its theme:
Waters’ orphaned grief for his father killed at Anzio in 1944, his fury at leaders making political capital out of ‘modern’ conflicts like the Falklands and an attempt to imagine the impact of conflict on veterans and their families.
