Favorite Portrait

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 is my favorite of the portrait pictures because, first off George colony is a great actor and a cool looking dude. The suit that he's wearing in this picture is pretty crazy and the design is a lot going on. What interest me is that George Clooney is this cool dude that comes off as tough and suave, and you see him in this polka dot suit, a suit that you typically wouldn't  see him wearing. the background is good too because it blends in the the suit and the pink font works great with the black and white. I kite how he's also in the center of the magazine and he's the main subject.
