UNAUTHORIZED PORTRAITS

First Edition.  From one of America's most brilliant satirical artists, Edward Sorel: his best, his funniest, his most deliciously wicked and memorable caricatures of the past thirty years. Here are history's great and near great -- 166 heroes, rogues, fools, and geniuses: from Moses leading his kvetching people through the parted Red Sea waters, to George Gershwin teaching Fred Astaire a dance step, to Madonna seen as a horse person of the apocalypse; from Brahms dozing off as Liszt plays, to Rodin auditioning models, and Reagan as Robin Hood, taking from the poor and giving to the rich. Here are such fabulous targets for the satirist's pen as LBJ, Nixon and the Watergate Gang, a holstered Jimmy Carter at high noon in the hostage crisis, and a poignant Dan Quayle as the central figure in a comic strip about a man who wants a little respect. Out of Print. Condition: Very Fine/As New.
