Description
Two years after he published The Underground Sketchbook in 1964, Tomi Ungerer conceived The Party – a take-down of the super rich, as savage as anything George Grosz or Ralph Steadman put on paper. Each full page or spread is accompanied by a hilariously incongruous caption, lettered in the author’s hand, creating an irreconcilable dissonance between image and text. Each image is a masterpiece of hideousness, the book itself a succession of smug, bloated, drooling, lascivious, ostentatious monsters. In The Party, Ungerer’s unleashes one of the most caustic moral imaginations of any cartoonist, each slashing ink line dipped in scorn.
