Original caption: The first contemporary portrait ever to appear on FORTUNE’s cover is, fittingly, that of Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. The portrait was painted by the well-known artist Robert Weaver. Mr. Sloan led General Motors to the summit as the world’s largest industrial corporation. Now, in a series of articles, he sets forth the inside story of his administration and discusses his business philosophy.

Canada’s Oil Frontier
From the credits: The town on the cover could be any one of a dozen in the flat wetland that covers one of the continent’s richest oil reservoirs. Grain elevators and oil derricks stand guard over the little settlements of western Canada and set the mood for their honest indigenous architecture. This kind of straightforward design by native builders, whether in Canada, Georgia, or Manhattan, is the special delight of Witold Gordon, Polish-born artist, whose paintings of store fronts, signs, and window decorations have appeared many times on the cover of the New Yorker, in Vogue and other magazines. Gordon stays off the main highways and avenues, away from concrete and steel and chromium, while he searches out a subject: on the side streets, the byroads, he finds the work he prefers, created by craftsmen “uncorrupted” by stylists and professional architects.

FORTUNE January 1968
Walter Allner, Art Director
Original credit: For this special issue, Fortune commissioned Negro artist Romare Bearden, fifty-three, to convey his own mood of urban life. What Bearden pieced together is the striking collage on the cover. Bearden knows the neighborhood signposts well; he grew up in Harlem. He serves as art director of the Harlem Cultural Council, which seeks to encourage promising Negroes in the arts. For Bearden, the assignment was reminiscent of an earlier one. In 1942, he painted a picture to accompany a Fortune article on an all too familiar subject: the Negro and discrimination.
