Wolinski

[Filthy Rich]

So was the Wolinksi who died in the Charlie Hebdo shootings the same guy who drew those psych covers in the sixties and seventies?

[eine]

I dare say so! Would make sense. Are there many?

[Filthy Rich]

I'm sure it's him to be honest. Many sleeves you mean or many Wolinskis?

[ginghamkitchen]

Wolinski was 80, so it's possible.

[eine]

Yeah, many sleeves. It looks familiar.

Another victim, Cabu, also did sleeve art.

Il a illustré de nombreux livres, et la pochette de Caricatures, le 3e album de Maxime Le Forestier[réf. souhaitée]. Il a illustré également la série de double CD Cabu chez Nocturne, anthologies consacrées à quelques grands musiciens de jazz : Ellington, Basie, Gillespie, Peterson, Kenton, Bechet... Dès 1982, il intervient sur les pochettes des albums et 45 tours de Dorothée. .

which translates as:

"He illustrated numbersome books and the pocket of Caricatures, the 3rd album of Maxime Le Forestier (ref: Sooty). He illustrated equally the series of double CD Cabu With Nocturnal
anthologies consecrated to some great jazz musicians: Ellington, Basie, Gillespie, Peterson, Kenton, Bechet... From 1982 he intervened with the pockets of albums and 45 turns of Dorothee."

(ref: Sooty).

I think this means 'reference required' - poss Google Translate hiccup?

It's typical that I own three Maxime Le Forestier albums and finally one with a redeeming feature appears here and not in my collection!

Wolinski sure as hell did record sleeves - here's one of his more well known ones;



'What are you going to make in the street, Fiston?'

and here's a few more...
