REPURPOSING ITALIAN FUTURISM FOR THE LATEST IN POST-ROCK/ EXPERIMENTAL SOUNDS.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the now iconic poster art by Italian Futurist Fortunato Depero for the 1932 exposition Futurismo Trentino, later repurposed by graphic artist Peter Saville of Factory Records for NEW ORDER's 1981 debut album "Movement."
Resolution from largest to smallest: 1479x818, 1060x1078, & 790x790.
NEW ORDER
"Movement" / FACT 50
(Factory Records, 1981)
SLEEVE ART OVERVIEW: "Already prominent in NEW ORDER's early singles "Procession" and "Everything’s Gone Green," Saville turned to Italian futurism, and specifically Fortunato Depero’s poster for the 1932 exposition "Futurismo Trentino" for inspiration. Clean lines and strong typography had been visible from 1979’s "A Factory Sample," but here Saville imbued each stroke with veiled meaning, subtly adapting Depero’s design. Putting the album’s FAC. 50 matrix number front and centre, the cover is built around the "F" for Factory and "L," Roman numeral for 50, the light blue background of the UK release chosen by the band."
