Hounds of Love by Kate Bush — album cover art

Hounds of Love (1985)

Kate Bush herself conceived and art-directed this haunting cover, lying in silk with two Afghan hounds in a deliberate recreation of classical painting compositions. The ethereal image perfectly captured the album's mystical themes.
