    Vogue covers by Parisian artist André Edouard Marty When I saw a post about “The Art of Vogue Covers,” my eye was first drawn towards the elegant composition and illustration on the July 23, 1930 issue. The seemingly sparse magazine cover makes wonderful use of white space, with subtle smoke travelling upwards to blend softly into the thick, hand-lettered Vogue masthead. Above is another fashionable Vogue cover with full-bleed art of a woman painting. On this cover from August 1929, “Vogue” looks painted in cursive, with each letter linking to the next without hesitation, one continuous stroke of a brush. Both covers are by André Edouard Marty. I’m slightly embarrassed that I was unfamiliar with the artist A. E. Marty until today. (discovered via scans from The Art of Vogue Covers book via Miss Moss)
