This 1958 Ballantine cover by Powers is one of my favorites in our collection. It is also a favorite of Scott Robinson who paid a visit to our home recently. Scott is a huge Powers addict (like myself) and we had a great afternoon talking art and music.
When Scott saw Tomorrow's Gift he had a self-proclaimed "religious experience", having imprinted on this book cover as a kid. It was his favorite. He pointed out Powers had altered the abstract seated nude in the foreground after the cover was printed. I had never noticed before!
Another example of Powers constantly returning to pieces and "improving" things : )
