What Man?
You remind me of a man.
What man?
So begins this novel, with a quote from the film The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer... what I'd like to know is "what man" painted the cover art for this paperback, published in 1957. Anyone?

It's the Ben Shahn/Warhol-esque linework that's throwing me... I'm sure I've seen it before, but I can't find any other similar examples just yet. It's a strange style. Almost wanna say Richard Powers but that seems too easy, and not quite right. Robert Cook over at: http://www.tcj.com/messboard/viewtopic.php?t=3157 ...suggests Mitchell Hooks, whose name I'd never heard, but whose work I recognize, and which seems a close fit. He has several covers where he "draws" over a painting like the one above. Posted by: Jeffrey at November 4, 2007 12:11 AM Mitchell Hooks seems to be the man.
