Head in his hands, crying- what's the back story on this incredible painting? Is it Fitzgerald's novel, The Great Gatsby?

[@pedrohenriqueprata]

I don't think there is a story behind this painting. American author, illustrator and muralist Dean Cornwell seems to have enjoyed these mysterious expressions of despair and disquiet, suggesting a story behind the scene shown. In the other recording of this work that I posted on the channel, I also used a painting of him. What interested me here was the combination of pathos with that festive luxury a little bit of the Belle Époque or the 1920s, which seems to me suitable as an "illustration" of this song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4WrmYCme8t0mMk
