My Favorite Cover

"For W’s December/January Art Issue, the magazine collaborated with artist Yayoi Kusama to create this iconic cover image depicting George Clooney. The visually arresting image is the highlight of the cover story, for which five leading female artists were invited to create interpretive portraits of the actor. Clooney wears a suit painted by Kusama with her signature polka dots and stands against a polka-dotted backdrop. Planned to coincide with the opening of an exhibition of new work by Kusama at David Zwirner Gallery, the cover makes a powerful reference to the artist’s iconic self-portraits."

This cover of George Clooney really shows Yayoi Kusama's art style in a sophisticated fashion. The photo is detailed with patterns, making it more interesting to look at. I feel that the portrait was really giving off a happy vibe and was portraying a fun environment to be in. George Clooney was a wonderful pick for this project because he seems to be a "serious character" in an amusing ambiance.
