I love the Richard Powers covers that are not just abstract, but also creepy. This one has always fit that bill for me, beautifully! Does it appear that the skull element at the top had been lost due to a former owner cutting off the board in order to frame it in its current square configuration?

I forgot if John Davis told me if he knew who cut this, but Powers was notorious for chopping up his art and sometimes reusing parts of it. I've seen others where the extremities were trimmed off in order to make it a more frameable artwork. A bit of a bummer...

John did a blog on it here:

Grotesque and dazzling as artwork at the same time! This ghouly mad scientist is obsessed with the formula of life and love because he's presented as removed from both.

Thanks to you!

I've wanted to list this forever but since it had a nice frame on it i left in in there so was never able to scan it properly. Then talking with Victor recently he asked about it and it reminded me that it was listed on Heritage way back when I bid on it and that i could just use their photo of it. Problem solved!

It's definitely my favorite horror cover by Powers.

Okay, now I'm creeped out. Was that the intent?

Fantastic painting! IMHO one of the very best Powers ever did!
