{"product_id":"new-yorker-cover-copy-40","title":"Life Imitates Art- The New Yorker","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis charming New Yorker cover by Rea Irvin presents a delightful meditation on the nature of self-portraiture. We observe an artist from behind as he studies his reflection in an oval mirror while simultaneously painting his likeness on a canvas. The recursive visual puzzle, with its play between reality and representation, demonstrates Irvin's signature wit and sophisticated sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIrvin, who served as The New Yorker's founding art editor and created its iconic visual identity (including the famous Eustace Tilley character), brings his characteristic elegance to this composition. The warm burgundy curtains, soft blue artist's smock, and the intriguing modernist portrait on the wall behind create a rich domestic studio atmosphere. The artist's pipe, held jauntily in his mouth, adds a touch of bohemian charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standout piece for collectors of mid-century American illustration, this cover exemplifies the golden age of magazine art when The New Yorker set the standard for visual sophistication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.5\" x 9.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rea Irvin\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.
