In my opinion, almost nothing can beat the quality of the New Yorker covers when it comes to caricature, cartooning, lampooning illustration, etc. In recent years the percentage of masterpieces in each genre is extremely high. Conceptualist artists, groaning with fake gravitas, should take a look at the real thing on the cover of the next New Yorker....one can almost guarantee it will be extraordinary, again.
