Yeah, that's what I thought too, although there's a chance it was "Squares In Space 1"
It wouldn't surprise me if the titles of these paintings are translated from their Italian originals.

Looks like Grimaldi is proud of his finest artwork!!
 But as you might have guessed.. ..that image is a fake!  |

Ha, ha, you almost got me with that one. I noticed this picture too and was looking if I could discover some album-titles. |

I believe the Dali-painting which inspired Grimaldi is shown on the Music Page from the new HTM-website, Everything Happy The Man.

I have a painting by Mario Grimaldi that my grandmother bought from him at the Mystic Art Show on July 14, 1965. Does anyone know what this might be valued at?

I am not sure where you are located but I would send a photo to any of the art auction places in New York or LA. They night be able to give you an estimate of what it might bring at auction.

Hi Liz,
Great story about that painting by Grimaldi. When I see some of the other prices for his paintings, it wouldn't surprise me if it were + $ 1.500. Any chance of posting a picture of it? |

Is this one too?
 source: millieandcorina.com/post/32276147694/geometric-art-by-mario-grimaldi-oil-on-canvas I know a lot of original shown pictures in this thread are no longer visible, probably because of a change of the site they were taken from. Which makes a book on the work of Grimaldi even more interesting. |

Recently saw the original version of Tron and I must admit that some of those computer-landscapes reminded me of the Crafty Hands-cover:
 I wonder if those are also present in Tron The Legacy... |

i just bought an original grimaldi and was wondering if anyone can give me advise on how special or unique this painting is compared to all other paintings he did. I bought the painting at an antique store in maryland for only 75 dollars. I have never heard him nor have I ever seen any of his paintings before I laid eyes on this piece. I just had to get it. I only researched him when I got home. Please advise anyone! THanks!!!

THIS IS MY GRANDFATHER IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE FURTHER INFORMATION!
What I dont know is if that painting is done specificely for that album. Has anyone any clue about this? Well here is the only stuff I found and I am not absolutely shure its the right Grimaldi but thats my guess anyway.MARIO GRIMALDI (1927-1997) MID CENTURY MODERN ABSTRACT PAINTING. CIRCA 1960S.  PERFECT IN AN EAMES ERA SETTING. GRIMALDI WAS A GRADUATE OF THE SCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS IN MANHATTAN. HE ALSO ATTENDED THE UNIVERSITY OF MEXICO CITY. INSPIRED BY SALVADOR DALI, GRIMALDI WAS KNOWN FOR CREATING GEOMETRIC DESIGNS WITH ILLUSIONS. HIS PREFERRED MEDIUM WAS ACRYLIC PAINT ON CANVAS. GRIMALDI WAS ALSO AN INFORMAL TUTOR TO ARTISTS SUCH AS PHILIP ANDERSON AND HIS STYLE TENDED TOWARD THE ABSTRACT WITH GEOMETRIC SYMMETRY AND HARD EDGES CREATING THREE DIMENSIONAL IMAGES ON A TWO DIMENSIONAL SURFACE. What do ya think? Is this the Crafty Hands album cover artist? |

Dear Samantha,
What an honour for our little forum to have you as a visitor; wow! the grand-daughter of the man who partly "made" our favorite band Happy The Man by painting the beautiful cover which was used for Crafty Hands. My only question would be if there is a catalogue or something like that which contains all Mario's work. Thanks in advance. I guess those who own a Grimaldi will have a lot of questions too! René |

Just seen some cool videos of Mario Grimaldi on youtube. Looks like they were just uploaded. I was able to get in touch with his son, Frank Grimaldi, and he said he is working on a website that will have works of Mario Grimaldi.
Here is a link to the youtube videos: youtu.be/W21RF4ZYmjE?list=PLrowg9fVFCWePjyiFLgi_6BqcxXiUT3df |

I just watched the first video and plan watch the others the coming days. Great to know the Happy The Man-album-cover artwork for "Crafty Hands" is called "Universal Child", while we always call it Ibby ;-) Thanks again and keep us informed about the website Frank Grimaldi is working on! |

 ) that had almost exactly the same image as Crafty Hands. There was this same kind of figute with its arms up, holding something. I didn't buy it then (stupid!), and when I was there two weeks ago it was gone. So I don't know which band/LP it was, but I can remember it was released in the same period as CH.The same thing happened to me when I discovered a folk band with the name Happy The Man. Didn't buy it then, and when I wanted to have it later it was gone.  I found the LP with the Ibby-like cover again and bought it for a few Euro's. The band is called J.O.B. Orquestra and the title of the album is Open The Doors To Your Heart. The music is not that interesting (disco/funky) and even has some harakrishna-chants!
