Nicolas Roeg is a director known for his use of the cut-up technique, through which a linear narrative is given a new and less conventional meaning. His oblique storytelling formula, with ambiguous characters, blurred genres, distorted chronologies, and open-ended themes invites warring interpretations.
Jacques Tati was a French film actor and director who became best known for his inspired physical comedy and his accident-prone alter ego, Monsieur Hulot. In his films Tati forsakes traditional narrative in favour of vignettes that use sight gags, timing, mannerisms, and physical action to reveal the humour and texture of modern living.
For his 1972 cosmic funk album, On the Corner, Miles Davis asked his former flatmate and cartoonist, Corky McCoy, to create an album cover that would appeal to hip young African Americans. Some critics were appalled by what they saw as racially sensitive depictions of African Americans. Corky's multi-hued blaxploitation street scenes of superfly guys, playaz and fine bitches in hot pants and high heels, were a perfect fit for Miles radical music. Corky also drew sleeves for In Concert, Big Fun and Water Babies.
