“Her portrait seems to ask more questions than it answers.” Anita Kunz, the cover artist for our Archival Issue, discusses the enduring allure of the “Mona Lisa.”
If celebrity is measured by the amount of time that one has spent being observed and photographed from behind cordons, by the volume and variety of memes that one has inspired, and by the urge that strangers have toat one’s heavily valued person, then this week’s cover subject, the “Mona Lisa,” might be among the biggest stars of them all. For the themed Archival Issue, which considers celebrities and our fascination for them, Anita Kunz has created a cheeky modern take on the iconic painting.
When I browse media these days, I’m surprised at how few of today’s celebrities I am familiar with! I used to do a lot of celebrity portraits for magazines, but I was never as interested in the people themselves as I was in the concept of celebrity. Why do we make them famous? Why do we care? Many of them seem to have little value to society—it’s always been a puzzle to me.Not really, but once I attended a magazine party with lots of very famous faces in the crowd.
