"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 photo is very mind tricking because the background makes the person really blend in. He is wearing a polka dotted suit that is the exact same with the background and the only thing that stands out is his head. I think this interprets that the actor has self confidence. He has a sort of smirk look because he looks very precise especially his hair. His eye area gives this smirky look too because I feel he is raising them a bit. There is also a serious feel to the image. He has his hands behind his back and is looking straight at the camera with a half straight face. The lighting in the photo is bright and I can tell this because the centers of his face ie. his nose and forehead and casted with light. The straight white polkadots also gives a bright look.
