- ‘Fair Warning’ (1981) The Fair Warning artwork marked a significant departure for Van Halen album covers. Featuring selections from William Kurelek’s painting The Maze – a deeply personal work that documents the artist’s traumatic childhood via a series of vignettes – the four panels on the front sleeve convey frustration, anger and aggression, complimenting the dark and gritty tone of the album itself.
