Ended Item #BB68: Framed Puzzle – The New Yorker, July 18, 2005

This vibrant and surreal landscape puzzle captures the cover of The New Yorker magazine from July 18, 2005. Designed in a bold, expressive style by artist Michael Bartalos, the image transforms a pastoral countryside into a dreamlike, technicolor vista. Rolling hills, winding rivers, and towering abstract trees rendered in electric blues, purples, oranges, and yellows give the scene a fantastical energy that bridges fine art and illustration.

The puzzle is beautifully framed in a sleek, glossy black frame measuring 19" x 25", enhancing the dynamic palette and lending a polished, gallery-ready presentation. The completed puzzle seamlessly showcases the details of the original magazine cover, including the title masthead in golden yellow and the printed cover price of $4.95. Bartalos’s signature is visible in the bottom right corner, adding a personal artistic touch.

This piece is both a nostalgic homage to an iconic publication and a testament to the joy of puzzle art—merging patience, precision, and aesthetics into a compelling visual experience.
