Jennifer Lawrence Becomes Muse for Three Contemporary Artists
Jennifer Lawrence has collaborated with Wolfgang Tillmans, Elizabeth Peyton, and Philippe Parreno to create intimate portraits for W Magazine’s latest Art Issue. This edition continues the magazine’s tradition of uniting prominent cultural figures with leading contemporary artists.
Lawrence’s Unique Spark
In her interview, Lawrence humorously admitted that she is not skilled at drawing—except for a simple horse head in profile, which she sketches with playful confidence. That candid detail adds charm to her collaboration with the three acclaimed artists.
Continuing W Magazine’s Artistic Legacy
Since 2006, W Magazine’s Art Issue has featured groundbreaking collaborations between celebrities and artists. Previous editions included Mickalene Thomas photographing Cardi B, Barbara Kruger layering text over an image of Kim Kardashian, and George Clooney appearing in Yayoi Kusama’s dotted universe.
Three Portraits, Three Perspectives
This year, Lawrence posed for Elizabeth Peyton, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Philippe Parreno. Each artist produced a distinct cover, reflecting their unique vision of the 35-year-old actor.
Editorial Insight
“We wanted to work with artists who approached portraiture in different ways and who worked in different mediums. Of course, it was also important that we connected to them on a personal level,” said Sara Moonves, editor in chief at W Magazine. “Each of them approached the collaboration differently, but with great commitment and care.”
