Edward Koren is best known for his cartoons and covers for The New
Yorker magazine. This book explores the full range of the art he has
produced during the past five decades: original drawings for cartoons
and illustrated books as well as prints and posters. A variety of
finished drawings are included--figures that emerged from the commedia
dell'arte, fanciful beasts that might occupy a diorama in the American
Museum of Natural History, cyclists pedaling through cities and
countryside--all documenting the inventive play of the artist's
imagination through the motion of his pen or pencil.
