At a time when other publications are eliminating critics, The New Yorker created this stunning portfolio of portraits of our critics, photographed by Richard Renaldi. Critics can be stars if you believe in what they do. Looking good, my friends and colleagues! www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Critical Distance

Richard Renaldi’s large-format portraits capture the New Yorker writers who hold the culture to account.
