Guy Peellaert was a Belgian artist whose psychedelic, pop-surrealist imagery defined 1970s rock iconography. Best known for “Rock Dreams” (with Nik Cohn) and album covers for David Bowie and The Rolling Stones, Peellaert fused photorealism, collage, and fantasy into seductive visual mythologies. His work anticipated celebrity culture’s dreamlike distortion. With equal reverence and irony, he painted fame as both spectacle and hallucination—making him a visual poet of pop excess.
