{"product_id":"unauthorized-portraits","title":"Unauthorized Portraits","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom one of America's most brilliant satirical artists: his best, his funniest, his most deliciously wicked and memorable caricatures of the past thirty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere are history's great and near great--166 heroes, rogues, fools, and geniuses: from Moses leading his kvetching people (\"Some miracle! If I don't get pneumonia, that'll be a miracle\") through the parted Red Sea waters, to George Gershwin teaching Fred Astaire a dance step, to Madonna seen as a horseperson 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it's pure pleasure to watch Sorel portray Tom Wolfe in his famous white suit or Woody Allen and Mia Farrow caught in The Storm, or draw a bead on such superstars as Picasso and John Updike, Barbra Streisand, Colette, Truman Capote, and the entire cast of Casablanca. Each of the book's three sections--\"History,\" \"Entertainment and the Arts,\" \"Politics\" --has a wry autobiographical introduction, and every drawing has its own pithy, informative caption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere's wit aplenty, visual and verbal--a splendid satirical view of the wise, the beautiful, the clever, and the flawed, over the centuries, who loom large in our lives and in our imaginations., ISBN13:9780679454663 ISBN10:0679454667 Material Type:hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cheap Book Depot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52495204909363,"sku":"B7.21.6 F_07-09-25_PHR_H0000OQZ","price":24.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/A13tOVKm_CL.jpg?v=1760002753","url":"https:\/\/cheapbookdepot.com\/products\/unauthorized-portraits","provider":"Cheap Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
