Wild Heart cover inspiration

[melacine]

So, I've heard in the past that there is a Sulamith Wulfing painting that inspired the cover photograph of the Wild Heart LP. Also, that there is symbolism behind the 3 images of Stevie on the cover (past, present, future).



Does any of this sound even vaguely familiar to anyone else, or am I just reading WAY too much into it?

A friend of mine asked me if I knew any "story" behind the photo and ever since then I've been trying to remember where I heard all of this. I'd love to hear any opinions or if you have any actual info that'd be great!

Thanks!
