It’s the God complex in him, the rapper, the producer, the artist, the fashion designer, the husband of Kim K, and the father of North and Saint all in one super disturbing image. This cover is highly in tune with Condo’s style of “ psychological cubism.” This is a depiction of the many different Kanyes that exist within Kanye. You know, ‘let’s toast to the scumbags.’” And the rest is history. This image stuck in West’s mind and “he just said, ‘Hey man, I’d like to have a great ballerina painting.’ I thought of a ballerina toasting. In one session, they were listening to the song, Runaway, when Condo’s wife Anna showed Kanye a slow motion clip of French dancer Sylvie Guillem dancing. After Kanye chose Condo to do the album cover art, he visited his studio several times to brainstorm possible paintings. This cute but slightly Black Swan-esque ballerina is one of the five interchangeable covers that come with the album.
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy cover by George Condo The two met up at Condo’s studio in New York and listened to the album, after which Condo created up to nine paintings. Here are the ones that made the cut. For My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, West chose contemporary artist George Condo to create the cover art. He is in a word, a lunatic, and his taste in art reflects just that. Kanye is a known workaholic and in 2016 was hospitalized for dehydration and sleep deprivation resulting in temporary psychosis. Rob Sheffield stated that “nobody halfway sane could have made this album,” which just couldn’t be more real. The only near criticism that anyone dared to publicize for fear of Kanye killing them in their sleep was from the Rolling Stone. In 2010, Kanye West dropped the album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which attracted a ridiculous amount of critical acclaim. In other words, it’s highly entertaining while still maintaining a distinct cringe-worthiness to it. Kanye bites a lot of sh*t, makes a big splash, and fancies himself the king of the ocean while George Condo just feeds off of the remains of the drama. The artistic collaboration between Kanye West and George Condo is akin to that of a Great White Shark and a pilot fish.
