The Art of Jules Feiffer

Beschreibung

The essential retrospective of the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and writer whose signature brand of satire inspired generations. Everyone knows a Jules Feiffer illustration when they see one. His characters leap across the page, each line resonating with humor and psychological insight. Over Feiffer's prolific seventy-year career, his nimble and singular imagination has given us new perspectives as well as biting satires on politics, love, marriage, and religion-all imbued with the playful anarchy of a child. Feiffer's varied output includes children's books ( The Phantom Tollboothand Bark, George), plays ( Little Murders), movies ( Carnal Knowledgeand Popeye), and comic strips (most notably in his Pulitzer Prize-winning Village Voicecomic strip of forty-two years). Out of Line: The Art of Jules Feiffer covers the entirety of Feiffer's celebrated career, providing a revealing glimpse into his creative process and his role as America's foremost Renaissance man of the arts.
