The World of William Steig!

Location: Yonge and College /downtown Toronto Cash only; prices are firm. "William Steig, the dean of New Yorker cartoonists, began his career at the magazine in 1930. After achieving acclaim with his gang of street urchins, affectionately nicknamed the "Small Fry," Steig branched out, exploring through his drawings the psychological undercurrents in relationships between parent and child, husband and wife, self and society. Steig laid bare the raw insecurities of childhood. In the process, he introduced symbolic art to mainstream audiences and permanently elevated the place of the cartoon in American culture. Featuring hundreds of illustrations, including a portfolio of previously unpublished pieces selected by the artist himself, The World of William Steig celebrates the lifework of an uncompromising iconoclast who has never lost sight of the power of humor..." - The World of William Steig - Lee Lorenz.
