The legendary jazz illustrator finally gets the coffee-table
treatment. Fantagraphics Books is proud to publish the coffee-table
style art book accompanying the traveling Arnold Roth exhibition
celebrating 50 years of cartooning. The exhibit will showcase almost
100 pieces of Roth's work, drawn over the last 50 years, and will
travel to approximately ten venues throughout the United States and
Europe from September 2000 through 2004. Roth is one of the most
successful cartoonists of the second half of the 20th century, whose
work has appeared in Playboy, Esquire, Time, National Lampoon, the
Saturday Evening Post, Sports Illustrated, Punch, Premiere, the
Nation, Mother Jones, Harper's, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone,
TV Guide, Smithsonian, and many other national magazines. He is the
creator of the classic newspaper strip Poor Arnold's Almanac
(collected in 1999 by Fantagraphics), and he is perhaps
best-remembered for the numerous album covers he illustrated for jazz
great Dave Brubek. Roth was also a regular artist in Harvey
Kurtzman's three post-Mad humor magazines, Trump, Humbug, and Help!.
The exhibition catalogue is printed in an oversized format and
features both black-and-white cartoons and strips and an abundance of
Roth's gorgeous, vivid watercolor cartoon paintings, all of which
appeared in disparate magazines over the years and none of which are
readily available to collectors and fans.
