"One of the great political cartoonists of our time." —David Remnick
A gorgeous, hilarious, and provocative compendium of the Pulitzer Prize-winning artist’s illustrations for
The New Yorker
,
The New York Times
Vanity Fair,
and more.
Barry Blitt’s cartoons have been lampooning American politics and culture for decades. His iconic
New Yorker
covers are defining images for our times, earning him adoration from critics and fans and piles of hate mail from everyone else.
This lavish full-color collection showcases more than a quarter century of Blitt’s work: his wry and provocative
covers, from the Obama fist bump heard round the world, to George W. Bush’s drowning cabinet, to the myriad (and counting) misadventures of Donald Trump; Blitt’s long-running collaboration with Frank Rich on
op-ed page; and his work for
Vanity Fair
Time
Entertainment Weekly
, and others. Blitt also shares his private sketchbooks, drafts, and uproarious rejected illustrations, offering readers an illuminating view into his creative process.
Featuring the author's hand-scrawled annotations and self-deprecating witticisms, more than one hundred never-before-seen sketches and drafts, and essays from Blitt’s collaborators and peers, including Frank Rich, Françoise Mouly, and Steve Brodner,
Blitt
is a visual delight and a rollicking trip into the mind of an utterly original artist.
