The three images I’ve included are the original book cover\/dust jacket (1926), a more recent cover design (2003) and an even newer cover design, and what appears to be the most prevalent design currently (2006).\u00a0 I found upwards of 16 different cover designs since its initial publication. \u00a0This novel was made into a movie, and at times it was difficult to distinguish between movie posters and book covers. \u00a0It was also published under the name\u00a0Fiesta\u00a0<\/em>in other countries, which in turn had other cover designs as well.<\/p>\n

The first edition book cover\/dust jacket was designed by Cleonike Damianakes, who also designed covers\/dust jackets for both F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. The Hellenistic design of this jacket was apparently chosen because of its classy and understated sexiness. \u00a0Because women typically made up the majority of those purchasing novels in the 1920’s, it was thought that this particular design would intrigue and appeal to them. \u00a0Surrealism and Art Deco (or Style Moderne) were popular within art and design during this time as well, however Damianakes design isn’t particulary reminiscent of those design movements. \u00a0The bold, clean design, however, does\u00a0appear to be similar to other book cover designs within the time period. \u00a0The imagery of the original cover design isn’t very telling in relation to the novel and its story. \u00a0The colors aren’t particularly bright, nor are there many, but this is typical of Hellenistic style and fits in with Damianakes signature design style. It also fits into the design elements of the era with its muted colors and bold, although clean and simple, lines.<\/p>\n

\"Image\"ImageMost of the cover designs that appeared on newer editions of The Sun Also Rises\u00a0<\/em>were much different from the first. \u00a0Not only in style, but in color, and in the way they reflected the novel itself. The majority of the newer cover designs feature imagery relating to bull fighting, a big aspect of the novel. \u00a0Although the images of bull fighting change slightly with each new design, the color red is present in all of them. The red is typically present in the form of the Muleta (the stick with a red cloth hanging from it) or the Capote de Brega (the red cape used by the bullfighter), but is also present in the fonts of some designs as well. \u00a0The 2003 cover shows both the bull and the fighter in a blurred image of a bullfight with red in the form of the font and what appears to be the fighters cape. \u00a0The 2006 cover, also burred, shows an image of the what appears to be just the bullfighter with his red cape. However, and interestingly, the colors and blurred image on this cover also resemble those of a sunrise, lending a bit of ambiguity and certainly intrigue.\u00a0Modern readers seem to\u00a0like, and look for,\u00a0book covers that tell them something about the story, and this speaks to the change in imagery on the cover. \u00a0Remodern art has been popular in the 2000’s with its bright colors and blurred, whimsical lines. \u00a0The two newer designs are reminiscent of this movement in art, and contrast greatly with the bold, clean lines of the original cover art.\u00a0I was, unfortunately, unable to find who designed the newer covers I’ve posted, so I can’t speak to how they play into their individual style, but as noted, they fit into a larger design trend of the time period.<\/p>\n
