Out of Line

Everyone knows a Feiffer illustration when they see one: His characters leap across the page, each line belying humour and psychological insight. Over Feiffers prolific 70-year career, his nimble and singular imagination has given us new perspectives as well as biting satires on politics, love, marriage and religionalternating with stories imbued with the playful anarchy of a child. Feiffers varied output includes childrens books (The Phantom Tollbooth and Bark, George), plays (Little Murders), movies (Carnal Knowledge and Popeye), and comic strips (most notably in his Pulitzer Prizewinning Village Voice comic strip of 42 years). Out of Line: The Art of Jules Feiffer is the long-awaited illustrated retrospective of Feiffers celebrated career, providing a revealing glimpse into his creative process and his role as Americas foremost Renaissance man of the arts.
