Rush - Moving Pictures

This album cover from Rush' 1981 album 'Moving Pictures' is for me a 'triple' inspiration, with the use of fine art and decided setting to 'pun' moving pictures. Firstly the literal moving of the pictures, the pictures are being carried towards the building by hand. Secondly there is a small film crew shooting the footage, thusly film - again moving pictures. Thirdly and finally, there are bystanders looking at the paintings with visual emotion, so the pictures are 'moving' once again - moving pictures. The picture is shot infront of Ontario Legislative Building in central Toronto, Canada. The designer of the shot and concept are Hugh Syme and Deborah Samuel.
