The New Yorker magazine is famous for its covers, normally created by a popular political cartoonist. These covers have made waves in the publishing world, as well as had a tremendous influence on art. None can say this as much as the Saul Steinberg illustration for the March 29, 1976, edition. Called View of the World from 9th Avenue, the drawing focuses strictly on a few blocks in Manhattan, with the rest of the world an afterthought.
The New Yorker magazine has had a hand in bringing many popular movies to the big screen. Based on short stories, essays, and articles that have run throughout the pages, dozens of blockbuster and award-winning films have garnered attention by being featured in the magazine. These include The Hours, Adaptation, Angela’s Ashes, Boys Don’t Cry, In Cold Blood, and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
