I found this explanation "Crimso biographer Sidney Smith posed this question to Robert Fripp, who responded: "Dear Sid, Adrian's title. My explanation would be more technical: the progression from dyad to triad, from opposition to reconciliation, from man + woman to family: father - mother - child. The artwork is a reduction from a painting of my essence brother Peter Willis, which is his presentation of a reconciliation of Western & Eastern Christianity. At a very difficult time in my life I was visiting him in Cornwall, and the painting was on the bedroom wall. It spoke to me. The painting is now in Dorset. Front cover has the two elements, representing the male & female principles. The back cover has the third element drawing together & reconciling the preceding opposite terms. In a sense, this is a continuation and development of the Tantric cover art to LTIA which presents the male & female principles. The geometry behind the sun & moon, if you draw it out, is precise and formal. The form behind Peter's painting is more intuitive, rather than prescribed by a tradition. However, Peter's icon painting is defined by the formal prescriptions of that tradition." (ETWiki website) |
