Patrick Nagel (November 25, 1945 – February 4, 1984) was an American artist and illustrator. He created popular illustrations on board, paper, and canvas, most of which emphasize the female form in a distinctive style, descended from Art Deco and pop art. He produced many illustrations for Playboy magazine. His cover for the group Duran Duran's Rio album has been acclaimed as one of the greatest album covers of all time.
