Esquire Covers At MOMA

Here's a reason to head to New York's  Museum of Modern Art within the next year:  "George Lois: The Esquire Covers" will run through March 31, 2009.

George Lois created some of Esquire's most memorable covers—Richard Nixon getting new makeup after his disastrous debate with JFK, who looked cool and calm while Nixon sweated; Svetlana Stalin with a drawn-on mustache; a composite cover of four different versions of heroes (JFK, Castro, Bob Dylan and Malcolm X).     

Lois designed 92 covers for the magazine from 1962 to 1972. The exhibit features 32 of them.
