Jack-O-Lantern (Look Closer...Or Farther)

Published since 1925, The New Yorker has run more than its share of artful holiday covers. October 1961 brought this Halloween work by Anatol Kovarsky.  A frequent contributor of cartoons as well as covers, this illustrator was celebrated for his use of pattern and color. This example from 1961 demonstrates his mastery of just those elements as the artist uses stylized Halloween symbols to form the face of a jack-o-lantern.
