What We Know About Vultures So Far
So far, there is no release date, but we know the tracklist and, possibly, the album cover. The cover art has been posted to Ty’s Instagram, and it takes inspiration from an 1800s painting showing a vulture perched on a shovel atop a grave. The post also shows a version of the original painting in sepia. The painting was created by Caspar David Friedrich around 1835 – 1837. The potential album cover was posted by Playboi Carti and from a Kanye fan account.
One fan provided additional insight into the historical background of the painting.
“His sepia drawing Landscape with Grave, Coffin, and Owl is symptomatic of the obsession with which Friedrich tracked death in the last years of his life. The eyes of the exaggeratedly large, surreal night bird glint in the light of the moon, which floats like a nimbus above the owl’s head,” a fan wrote, quoting the art site Web Gallery of Art. “Visible in the background is Cape Arkona on the island of Rügen, although in a different landscape setting. It is possible that the owl, while undoubtedly a bird of death, here also represents a symbol of wisdom.”
