My first interaction with Nagel's art, came from the cover for the album 'Rio' by Duran Duran.
This artist has a very distinctive art-style that at a glace, you would attribute it (correctly) to the 80s. Personally, I enjoy more detailed artwork yet, Nagel's pieces are very beautiful and somehow minimalistic while still retaining so many details. I will post only what I enjoy or deem enough safe for work here.
Now, this might only be my pattern recognition at work, but I've to say: I feel like Hirohiko Araki—the creator of the JoJo series—drew inspiration for his Lisa Lisa character from the 'Nagel Women' series of artworks. There are no actual evidence to support this theory of mine, just a little thing I concocted.
