Blitt (Deluxe Edition)

About Blitt (Deluxe Edition)

This extremely limited edition of Blitt comes in a custom cloth clamshell case and includes an original, one-of-a-kind watercolor illustration by the Pulitzer Prize-winning New Yorker cover artist Barry Blitt. Each copy is signed by the author.
 
All one hundred copies of this very special edition of Blitt were sent to Barry Blitt’s studio so the artist could create a unique frontispiece for each one. He drew them at the same desk where he creates his iconic illustrations for The New Yorker, The New York Times, and Vanity Fair.

Barry Blitt’s cartoons have been lampooning American politics and culture for decades. This lavish full-color collection showcases more than a quarter century of Blitt’s award-winning art: his wry and provocative New Yorker covers, from the Obama fist bump heard round the world to George W. Bush’s drowning cabinet to the myriad (and counting) misadventures of Donald Trump; Blitt’s long-running collaboration with Frank Rich on the New York Times op-ed page; and his work for Vanity Fair, Time, Entertainment Weekly, and others. Blitt also shares his private sketchbooks, drafts, and uproarious rejected illustrations, offering readers an illuminating view into his creative process.

Featuring the author’s hand-scrawled annotations and self-deprecating witticisms, more than one hundred never-before-seen sketches and drafts, and essays from Blitt’s collaborators and peers, including Frank Rich, Françoise Mouly, and Steve Brodner, Blitt is a visual delight and a rollicking trip into the mind of an utterly original artist.
