In remembrance of the upcoming one-year anniversary of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan, here are images submitted for The New Yorker cover that week that did not run. [excerpted from Blown Covers.]
Japan seems to demand simplicity and spareness as well as the use of red, white, and black. Bob Staake colored Hokusai’s Great Wave red, the same red that bathes Zohar Lazar’s moonlit sea.
