The New Yorker Cover - Jul 12, 2021

This cover for the July 12 & 19, 2021 issue of The New Yorker captures a serene, private moment of urban life. The illustration, titled "High Summer," depicts a woman sitting in the nook of a fire escape, engrossed in a book. Beside her, a black cat sits attentively, sharing the quiet space. The scene is framed by the darkness of the surrounding building, with a warm, rosy light casting a glow on the wall behind her and illuminating the scene, suggesting the last rays of a setting sun.

Artistic Insight

French artist Marion Fayolle uses her signature graphic style to create a powerful sense of mood. The composition uses the window as a frame-within-a-frame, while the dramatic, high-contrast light carves out an intimate, theatrical space. These elements work together to celebrate the central theme: a quiet moment of personal refuge and the simple pleasure of finding a peaceful sanctuary within the city. The artist's signature, "Fayolle," is visible vertically on the left, with her monogram "MF" in the bottom right corner.
