From top to bottom (left to right): 1933, 1935, 1932, 1933, 1913, 1921. Magazine covers used to be so creative. They were so much more interesting than someone posing on the cover. I mean, how many variations can you get of that? I like how it's not anyone particular at all. It lets the cover go in so many more directions. I didn't even realize until recently that these magazines featured artwork on the covers for so many years.
They also seem really modern to me. When I first saw the fourth picture about a year ago, it was intruiging to me that it's from 1933. It seems so innovative! They all seem that way, actually. The last one is pretty out there. I definitely like the two middle ones the most, because of the simplicity/colors/shapes/writing.

I agree with you. That style was fantastic.
You'll probably dig Erté's art if you haven't seen it already.

He's actually the artist of all the Harpers Bazaar covers in this post!
