New Yorker Cover Comparisons

The cover of the New Yorker with the beauty pageant has 4 women standing in a row looking to the side as if they are being judged. In my cover there are two people, one man and woman whose faces are not shown and they are looking at a camera. The beauty pageant cover is understood to represent New Yorkers as rude and smug, while other states are open and inviting. The museum cover can represent expression and different point of views. The main difference in these covers is that one is filled with color, while the other has no color at all. Another difference is that there is a man in one, while the other has 4 women. The pageant cover is clear with their message of emotions and expression, while the artwork cover has no clear interpretation and leaves us to interpret it in our own way. The main idea in both is expression, whether it is fully noticeable or not.
