Kurt Cobain Was Also an Artist, Not Just a Musician

Whether or not he pursued art or music it was said by people that knew him that he would have succeeded, as either an artist or as a musician. One of his art teachers thought that he was destined to be a famous artist. If you are a fan of his band, Nirvana then you have already been introduced to some of his artworks. He designed the artwork for his bands albums, and about half of the covers to them. He had designed the liner notes to Nevermind, and had masterminded the cover concept, and it has been said that he conceived the idea after he had watched a program about water births. If you have seen the artwork for Incesticide and In Utero then you have seen more of his artwork. This lens is to share some of his paintings with you.

His widow, Courtney Love , holds his estate, and up till recently the world had not seen too many of his artworks. A few he had given to friends and aquaintances while he was alive. He liked to paint on gaming boards from old games he purchased at the thrift store. It has been said that some of his works contained his dna, as he would sometimes incorporate his semen into the paint as it dried.

His journals which contained some drawings, song lyrics, and ideas have also been published. I won't get into a debate as to why it took so long for these to be shown or why they have been hidden for so long. I would love to someday see a gallery showing of his art. The paintings shown in this lens are ones that are said to be going up for auction as Love wants or if it will remain in the hands of someone else I do not know. His daughter has shown an interest in art too, and has had her first art show under a pen name, because she didn't want people to attend based on the fame of her parents legacy.
