| Jules Feiffer, one of American's most
influential editorial cartoonists, is also a playwright, novelist, screenwriter
and author of children's books. His Pulitzer prize-winning trademark cartoon
style, widely imitated by younger generations of political cartoonists,
typically features sparely drawn, neurotic characters, appearing against
blank backgrounds, and emoting or agonizing over news events and personal
problems. His cartoon strip, Feiffer, appeared in the Village Voice from
1956 to 1997, and in 1996 a retrospective exhibition of his work appeared
at the Library of Congress. His cartoon collections include Feiffer on Nixon:
The Cartoon Presidency (1974), Ronald Reagan in Movie America: A Jules Feiffer
Production (1988), and Feiffer: The Collected Works, Volumes 1, 2, and 3
(1998, 1989, 1992). |
