"Art must be a direct communication
between the artist's imagination and that
of the looker. For that reason, I avoid,
so much as possible, busying the looker's
eye with too many details in order that his
imagination may roam wide and far."
— Kahlil Gibran

Sturman was the official visual artist of the 47th Annual GRAMMY® Awards. His dramatic image of a musician in a sharp red suit and hat adorned the poster, program book and other materials for the 2005 Awards. Communicating the universal power of music through the iconic presence of one figure, Sturman's The Humble Heroics of the Musical Poet was a striking graphic accomplishment for music's biggest night.
