If you’re near New York City in the month of November and December, be sure to head over to the Society of Illustrators and check out the exhibit of original New Yorker cartons collected by Liza Donnelly and Michael Maslin who are also long-time New Yorker cartoonists.
The exhibit runs October 29 through – December 21, 2013.
From the exhibit:
Michael Maslin and Liza Donnelly, long-time contributors to The New Yorker Magazine, are also huge fans of the magazine’s cartoons, past and present. For over thirty years they have been collecting cartoons by New Yorker artists any way they can (gifts, ebay purchases, auctions, and as trades with their contemporaries). This exhibit represents the decades-long obsession with works by such cartoon luminaries from the magazine’s past as James Thurber, Gluyas Williams, and Helen Hokinson and present: Jack Ziegler, Roz Chast, Bob Mankoff, Mick Stevens, Drew Dernavich, Zachary Kanin, Barbara Smaller.
Well, if I were going to be “near” New York City the next two months, I sure would check out this exhibit as Donnelly is one of my favorite New Yorker cartoonists. Unfortunately, no plans at this time to be there.
