The Great Gatsby's Relation to and Importance as a Work of Art - Student Pulse - 0 views

  • artist, Howard Chandler Christy, specialized in presenting a type of a beautiful girl, the dream of any soldier, which seems to float before Gatsby (as Daisy, of course), as he must have imagined her while he was in the war (Reed 28). “Christy’s girl” seems to dream, revealing nothing of her persona but her extraordinary beauty-and thus her seemingly shallowness becomes crowned by a mysterious aura
