Tar magazine editor Evanly Schindler set out to “explore the intersection of art and fashion from a perspective that is both intellectually pointed and socially conscious but still stylishly produced.”
Damien Hirst designed the cover for April’s issue of Tar magazine; a somewhat de-fleshed Kate Moss, brandishing the sweet curvature of muscle tissue.
From the New York Times article:
It is not the idealized cover image you might expect would help to sell a magazine, though the distortion is really not that different from the extreme retouching that routinely goes on at mainstream publications to make celebrities look “better,” only to make them look like aliens.
I am very curious to browse this magazine and see how they achieve the intended expressive balance.
