This painting is the cover art for The Great Gatsby. I really like the line work and the motion it creates. There are two nudes making up the irises in the eyes, creating a depth to the piece. The deep blue is perfect for creating the night feeling with saturation. The lips are contrasted very well, and balance as a focus. The amusement park lights below really have that realistic glow to them. I like this cover for a few reasons, even though its ties to the novel are somewhat lose. I think it really is one of the most striking covers.
