Island life
Island Life is a compilation album by Grace Jones released in December 1985, summing up the first nine years of her musical career.
The cover picture is one of the most famous images of Grace Jones and was created by her then-partner Jean-Paul Goude. The impossibly graceful arabesque is actually a montage of separate images, following Goude's ideas on creating credible illusions with his cut-and-paint technique. The body position is anatomically unlikely. The picture was originally published in New York magazine in 1978 and subsequently used in the music video for Jones' hit single "La Vie en rose". It has been since described as one of pop culture's most famous photographs.
