COLLAGES
1. An assemblage of magazine cutouts, anatomical models and toy figures. This collage includes a Batman toy holding a cotton swab, a picture of The Rolling Stones, a Chim Chim toy, anatomical bodies, baby figures, diseased vaginas, $50 dollars, an emaciated body, a monster baby, etc.
2. Chim Chim toy figure set against a collage of medical magazine cutouts of diseased vaginas and a picture of Kiss, used for the inlay of the Nevermind release.
3. An assemblage of Stargazer lilies, anatomical models, baby figures, skeletons, turtle shells, and a heart-shaped box. Photographed by Charles Peterson for the reverse cover of the In Utero release.
4. Kurt Cobain's self-portrait composed of a Nirvana comic book tearout and a pencil drawn, emaciated body. This collage was published in Journals, but according to an article written by Tim Appelo in the Seattle Weekly in 2002, journalists were banned from printing this page in articles or reviews, ostensibly because of its dark content. Above the drawing-collage are six lines cut-and-pasted from an Alicia Ostriker poem called "A Young Woman, A Tree". The six lines, which begin the poem, describe a girl who passes a blooming tree, and envies its beauty, and on top to the poem is the word "Swingers" (in Cobain's handwriting); it has been suggested that by juxtaposing these lines with his emaciated self-portrait, Cobain was making a comment on his own loss of creativity and his personal image being in contrast to his public one. The poem fragment is:
Be making love,
Be making poetry,
Be exploding, be speeding through the universe
Like a photon, like a shower
Of yellow blazes-
5. An assemblage of Stargazer lilies and a heart-shaped box on tin foil, used for the front cover of the Heart-Shaped Box single release.
6. J-card of an early demo tape Kurt sent out to get Nirvana signed. The songs he sent are: "Floyd the Barber", "Spank Thru", "Hairspray Queen", "Mexican Seafood", "Beeswax", "Beans", "Paper Cuts", "Big Cheese", "Love Buzz", "Aero Zeppelin", "Pen Cap Chew", and "Montage of Heck"
7. Madonna statue fragments with three birth announcement dolls, arranged in a suitcase.

He's literally the type of guy to pick up shit from the floor and scult it into a masterpiece
Fabuleux!!!
Kurt Cobain could make up 3 or 4 power chords and make art so of course it makes sense he could take a bunch of magazine cut outs and random shit he found and make artwork
A true tortured artist! What a loss.
Where did you get the image of the first collage from? This is a great video showing Kurt's work!
I hate myself and want to die
Binky Jenkins Nut don't we all?
Don't you mean,life is cancer we all hate it
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Get your art game going. Draw, paint, stack some ugly flea market dolls together, write a song/poem, get out of your head...its scary in there. I know mine is. Happiness is a decision, not a feeling.
the first song that was played in the vid is called "i hate myself and want to die"
christierella it’s a song by them
I saw your comment
Kara Tao o
