Timeless Classic Artists Feature
(They Don't Make Them Like They Used To)
Issue #1: Prince
Elysian Mark is dedicated to the many artists that have influenced its members, that have sadly left our world to entertain their next journey. For that reason, it is my honour to showcase the amazing fan work that DeviantArt's members have made in honour of those artists that cannot sadly be replaced by any other in our modern times.
This month, we are proud to feature Prince:
Prince, birthname Rogers Nelson, is a Minneapolis artist born the 7th June 1958, and who passed away the 21th April 2016.
Although mostly known for his singing and songwriting career, he was a versatile artist both in style, but also with his skills ranging from dancing to acting, to even filmmaking and record producing. He is reknown for being one of the few artists that wrote, produced, and composed all of his music himself, as well as nearly playing almost all the instruments found in his albums.
He is considered as the pioneer of the Minneapolis sound, a specific synth funk pop sound; but his more important contribution was the effect that himself and his music gave to his fans. Everyone who voted for Prince as the first timeless classic artist to feature said the same thing:
How important his music was in their lives.
So the following art hommage gathered from all over DeviantArt is for Prince, his fans, and everyone who simply wants to get to know him.
