Esquire's 75th Anniversary Issue in Commissioned Art

One of the best parts of Esquire‘s 75th anniversary issue (better than the silly E Ink cover, we’d argue) is that the magazine commissioned artists around the globe to create specific works to accompany many of the articles. From an amusing take on Steve Jobs’ wardrobe (above) to portraits of global icons LeBron James and Rupert Murdoch, the creations are an inspired lot.

It’s certainly a unique idea — albeit probably remarkably expensive — so we thought it warranted some coverage on its own.
