Description
|
|
|
|
For more than a half century, David Levine has taken on the most powerful men of the free world with only his drawing pen, yet it has proven to be mightier than any sword. With his delicately crosshatched caricatures Levine has skewered, illuminated, satirized, or condemned every president of the 20th century, as well as the most significant presidents from colonial times and the Civil War era; his drawing of Lyndon Johnson with a scar in the shape of Vietnam, for example, is considered one of the most recognized (and most copied) of the era. The best of Levine's portraits of American administrations are gathered here, from John Adams and John Quincy Adams to George Bush and George W. Bush, as well as 2008 presidential contenders John McCain and Barack Obama. "The greatest caricaturist of the late 20th century.... The durability of those Levine depicted, plus the unique insight with which he drew them, guarantees the immortality of his works."—Vanity Fair
