The Great Gatsby Art Deco Poster - So We Beat On
$22.00
A luminous city rises above dark, rolling waters—golden, distant, and forever just out of reach. Inspired by The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, this Art Deco–style poster visualizes the novel’s final truth: that progress is an illusion we keep rowing toward anyway.
The skyline evokes Jazz Age New York rendered in gold linework and deep teal, suspended between aspiration and inevitability. Below it, the water churns endlessly, echoing the novel’s central metaphor of motion without escape. The iconic closing line floats above it all—elegant, melancholy, and devastating in its restraint.
Printed as a museum-quality art poster, this piece is for readers who know Gatsby is not a love story, but a meditation on time, memory, and the cost of believing too hard in tomorrow.
Perfect for studies, libraries, and rooms that understand beauty and loss can occupy the same space.
Display notes: Satin adds a subtle heat-shimmer glow; matte makes the desert textures and silhouettes feel even more cinematic. Printed in the USA on heavyweight stock.
