Artist Patrick Nagel may have been the inspiration behind singer Michael Jackson’s radical cosmetic procedures.

Nagel was an American artist whose simple, bold renderings of women were featured in Playboy magazine, the cover design of the Duran Duran Rio album, and many prints sold to the general public.

Both Jackson and Nagel reached their creative peaks in the 1980s. Undoubtedly, Jackson saw some of Nagel’s work, which depicted females with pure white skin and a barely defined nose. Consciously or not, Michael Jackson may have reshaped his face and changed its color in a desire to look like a Patrick Nagel model.

An update: I recently ran across an article about Patrick Nagel that stated, "His dealer remembered one of Michael Jackson’s plastic surgeons quizzing the artist — who was informed by Deco as well as Japanese woodblock prints — about how he achieved his idealized physical forms."

So, the similarity depicted may have been more than a coincidence.
