The artwork in this audiobook is original, at least as authentically original, as a combination of Midjourney and Photoshop may make it so. However, to select art that best represents the charm and humor of P.G. Wodehouse's works, it's essential to consider artists whose styles reflect the dynamism, innovation, and complex emotions of the Roaring Twenties.

The following artists were used as inspiration when deriving art for this audiobook presentation:
1. Berthe Morisot's Impressionist style continued to influence artists in the 1920s, capturing the dynamism and excitement of the era.
2. George Grosz's satirical portrayals highlighted social inequality and the excesses of urban life, reflecting the darker side of the Roaring Twenties.
3. Giacomo Balla's Futurist focus on movement, speed, and technology resonated with the era's rapid pace of change and optimism.
4. Tamara de Lempicka's glamorous Art Deco paintings epitomized the Roaring Twenties' sophistication, luxury, and modernity, celebrating new freedoms for women and urban life allure.
5. Wassily Kandinsky's pioneering abstract art was influenced by rapid societal changes, exploring new forms of expression and spiritual aspects of art.
6. Fernand Léger's bold, geometric Cubist style captured the energy and modernity of the era, reflecting industrialization and technological advancements.
7. Marc Chagall's dreamy, poetic paintings offered an alternative perspective to the era's materialism and superficial glamour, tapping into emotional and spiritual currents.

These artists contributed to or were influenced by the Roaring Twenties, reflecting the dynamism, innovation, and complex emotions of this era of rapid change.
