Moving Gifts: Arnie Levin New Yorker Cover Art

Arnie Levin's original New Yorker cover art for December 11, 1978 uses perhaps a quarter of the space available. Despite the relatively small area of the drawing, approximately half of it—comprising all the gifts sitting on the forklift forks—has been collaged onto the art. The result is a minimalist cover that is essentially flawless. A lot of work must have gone into achieving such charming simplicity.
