the Purple Rain movie is full of wonderful examples: on stage in the dressing room and the kids bedroom

^You've been busy OldFriends! I can definitely see all the connections between all the styles you've mentioned, in particular the Amadeus costumes... It is very understandable why Prince would have originally been inspired by that film, which was after all about one of the greatest musician of all time!

Prince knew all about the mask - and reveal.

Someone in his band at the time and I believe Sheila E talked about Prince & Amadeus and how that film really blew Prince away. I'll try to find something on it.

whether strategic or not, all these little beings in the dressing room or bedroom look like they are communicating with the Kid

As weird as it sounds, the puppets, dolls and masks seem to represent some sort of imaginary friends, alleviating his loneliness as well as reflecting his moods, thoughts and dreams.

Yes, I wonder how easily I could sleep in a room with all these beings watching me.
But I wish that bedroom and dressing room were still intact, to be able to walk through it and expore

Alleviating his loneliness and reflecting his ...
That is a good observation

those eyes!!!!!! great example of how mardi gras tradition is heavily influenced in his work.

i wonder how his mother decorated the home. my mom was into italiante furniture. lots of

statue style lamps and marble cherubs and paintings of that sort. funny thing about the Lovesexy

cover i never thought it was sexy or flattering cause i think it reminded me of those

naked cherbs statues in my childhood home and i was like why would he want to resemble a fat little

baby. remember those crazy dripping oil lamps with the goddess in the center that as a kid you always wanted to touch. it is amazing how the things we grow up seeing really become a part of our

fiber. I think the nods to his New Orleans roots are huge and serve as the formative heart place from which he

saw other connections.

Oh you nailed that oil lamp image! My neighbors had one with fake vines twined around. I LOVED it, when I was a kid I wanted it so bad.

If your royalty you get to be on the first page??? Or Prince's art was about royalty?

that clown in this scene always made me ?

What about this creative mask?

Does anyone know about this photo? Why is he so covered up with thick gloves? Was it really cold?
