Gatsby Flapper Painting, Original Art Deco Cocktail Party Wall Art, 12x24

Gatsby Made Me Do It is an original Gatsby flapper painting by independent artist Markus Lewis. Two bobbed flappers in cherry red and midnight blue share the frame with a dapper man in a fedora and polka-dot bow tie, glass raised. It’s midnight toasts, champagne bubbles, and a bottle on ice, the moment when the jazz band is still playing and the last tray of canapés is coming out.

The artist painted this little horizontal for exactly that feeling: small in size, big in story. At 12" x 24" x 1.5", unframed with the art wrapping the sides, it’s built to slip into places big art can’t, like over a bar cart, above a host stand, in a private dining nook, or in that moody powder room where guests actually stop and look.

Think Palm Beach Art Deco, but with a wink. The graphic black line, the pop of red lipstick and red dress, and the gray ground play perfectly in a light, fun deco interior of blush walls, brass inlay, and mint velvet. It’s not the dark speakeasy. It’s the 3pm rosé on the terrace that turns into midnight.

This is original art, signed by the artist: hospitality art that says “stay for one more.” It’s perfect for a collector who loves Fitzgerald, flappers, and a good toast.
