W, December/January, The Art Issue

"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 is my favorite because I like the way that the poke-dots on his suit contrasts with the background and his white and black poke dot shirt. Also his hair goes with this whole theme because the whole theme is black and white/ polka dots and his hair is black and white streaks. Also the magazines wording is pink  and the pole dots are orange and goes with the poke dots in the back round. It is contrasting and it goes with the how the suit and the shirt contrast. The cover is very well lit and it make you think happy when you see it.
