Arwork observations by RAYMOND CHANDLER:
βHe sat in the big leather chair like a cut-rate kingpin waiting for his crown to tarnish. The canary-yellow hair was a shout in a quiet room, and the plaid suit he wore was loud enough to give a man a migraine. The sneer was permanent, the cigar a Cuban fine prop, but the menace was real enough. Flanking him was the help. On the left stood a slab of muscle poured into a pinstripe suit, a man with a face carved from a block of hate and a rifle held with the casual boredom of someone who clocks in to break bones. On the other side was the dame, a redhead with the kind of vacant eyes that have seen too much and weren't impressed by any of it. She held her hardware like it was a new handbag, part of an ensemble that screamed trouble from a mile away.
The whole scene was soaked in a pink, feverish glow, the kind of light that buzzes at the edge of a bad dream. This wasn't a portrait of subtlety; it was a declaration written in garish colors and automatic weapons. These were people who wore their ugliness on the outside, a new breed of monster for a new and noisy age. This was a grimy little kingdom built on swagger and firepower, where loyalty was a lapel pin and the future smelled of cordite. You take one look at a setup like this and you know the whole story. Itβs a story that starts loud and ends messy, and the only smart move is to be somewhere else entirely when the curtain falls.β
