This Fall the Society of Illustrators will exhibit work by one of the New Yorker’s greatest artists, George Booth. Mr. Booth’s daughter, Sarah Booth, told Ink Spill that besides the hanging art “there will also be video and pictures and [a concentration] on George’s process, how he worked with cut and paste to the final cartoon.” More information will be posted here as we move closer to the opening.
Here’s Mr. Booth’s entry on Ink Spill’s New Yorker Cartoonists A-Z:
