I so love the hand in the close-up. I remember seeing this cover in my older brothers collection when I was little. I was really taken with the brushstrokes, although I couldn't have articulated that at the time. Now I see a real Leyendecker influence:
I think I can trace my love of markmaking back to this.
I like Van Gogh because of Alice Cooper.
