Jack Davis: Drawing American Pop Culture HC
Description:
- In the late 1940s, Jack Davis’ animated and exuberant images possessed a sense of spontaneous energy that proved to have universal appeal in every medium he worked in. Beginning with his masterful pen and ink cartooning at EC Comics, he quickly forged a reputation as one of the most versatile artists in comics, drawing humor, horror, and war stories. In Harvey Kurtzman’s MAD, especially, Davis made a mark as a master of caricature, composition, and wild, anarchic crowd scenes, practically vibrating with energy. After stints at MAD, Trump, and Humbug, Davis illustrated movie posters, magazine articles, magazine fiction, LP jackets, and more.
- Jack Davis: Drawing American Pop Culture is a gigantic, unparalleled, career-spanning retrospective, between whose hard covers resides the greatest collection — in terms of both quantity and quality — of Jack Davis’ work ever assembled.
