{"product_id":"new-yorker-cover-13","title":"Dinner Time Snooze- The New Yorker","description":"\u003cp\u003eLudwig Bemelmans captures wartime New York with characteristic wit in this October 1943 New Yorker cover. A portly gentleman dozes contentedly in a pink-hued restaurant, having clearly overindulged at his private table laden with wine, fruit, and fine foods. The blue privacy screen shields him from the empty dining room stretching into the background, where a single waiter attends to the only other patrons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe social commentary is deliciously subtle: while Americans endured strict rationing of meat, sugar, and butter, the privileged few still found ways to feast. Bemelmans' loose, fluid watercolor style transforms potential criticism into gentle satire, his signature pink and coral washes creating a dreamlike atmosphere of excess and contentment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standout piece that bridges wartime history with The New Yorker's tradition of sophisticated visual commentary, this cover showcases why Bemelmans remains one of the magazine's most beloved artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.0\" x 8.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ludwig Bemelmans\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, * Please note that this listing is for the cover artwork, and not the magazine as a whole.
