    The album art for Elvis Costello's Imperial Bedroom was deliberately painted as an homage to Picasso's painting Three Musicians.

    This was designed by Andy Warhol. It was not inspired by a painting. Probably inspired by a piece of advertising print . Allegedly since seen on a period mass-produced bar-room ashtray, I recall.

    I don't think this was inspired by a painting. It was a painting. British painter/illustrator/writer Betty Swanwick.
