“Movies are the dream models by which multiple generations have codified, altered, and pushed the boundaries of their behavior,” the artist Chris Ware says about his latest New Yorker cover, his twenty-fourth. Arriving on newsstands six days before the Academy Awards, the image nods at a tumultuous year in the film industry, during which revelations of sexual misconduct in Hollywood helped ignite the #MeToo movement.
“For too long,” Ware says, “we have forgotten that, while actors like Clara Bow, Marilyn Monroe, or Lupita Nyong’o may be film stars, they are also human beings, subject to the totality of life.”
