The New Yorker's cover art has long reflected a cosmopolitan sensibility — but recently, the images have become much more topical, depicting issues the nation is facing like politics, immigration and race.

This week's cover, “#OscarsNotSoWhite,” by Eric Drooker. Recently, the world of moviemaking, which will celebrate its 89th Oscars ceremony today, has been criticized for its lack of diversity, culminating in the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite. “I’m glad this is finally beginning to change,” Drooker said. “Movies have a powerful influence on us. They can stimulate—or limit–our imaginations.” Click the link in our bio to see a slide show of some of our past #Oscars covers.

Covers like "The March" by Abigail Gray Swartz, featuring a brown-skinned Rosie the Riveter, and "Liberty's Flameout" by John W. Tomac, depicting the Statue of Liberty with her shining torch no longer lit to greet immigrants.

An early look at next week's cover: Under more ordinary circumstances, the cover of our Anniversary Issue, marking ninety-two years, would feature some version of Rea Irvin’s classic image of the monocled dandy Eustace Tilley. This year, as a response to the opening weeks of the Trump Administration, particularly the executive order on immigration, we feature John W. Tomac’s dark, unwelcoming image, “Liberty’s Flameout.” Click the link in our bio to read more. #TNYcovers

"There is a quality to a magazine cover which is aspirational — it's not just what it is but what the future will be," said Françoise Mouly, the magazine's art editor since 1993. "The future will be diverse."

Mouly spoke to WNYC's cultural critic Rebecca Carroll.
