When it comes to magazines and the art world, I often like the idea more than I like the end result.
Magazines were reliant on illustrations before photography became a force, and while that era might be mostly forgotten, art remains part of the DNA of magazines, and both Vogue and Bazaar have dipped into it over the decades. Some fashion titles continue to closely align themselves with the art world, publishing regular supplements, like UK Bazaar.
But as a commercial product, dependent on instant appeal in the internet age, art can be a difficult sell on the front of a magazine. You're asking people with shorter-than-ever attention spans to react to something which is supposed to be meaningful.
