The Mexican Prints of Posada and Manilla Alan Weller

More than 150 cartoons and illustra-tions by Mexico’s greatest 20th-century printmakers, in book and digital for-mats. The artists were colleagues and political compatriots whose raw, often violent images depict the effects of class warfare and government corrup-tion. Posada is particularly noted for his illustrations for political leaflets and his calaveras — satirical interpretations of the skeletons associated with Day of the Dead festivities.

500 Years of Illustration From Albrecht Dürer to Rockwell Kent Howard Simon

For the working artist and student alike, this is an unrivaled treasury of the methods, techniques, and examples of the great illustrators of the past — from the dawn of printing to the 20th century. Featuring works by Goya, Hogarth, Dürer, Morris, Doré, Beardsley, and others, this carefully chosen compendium will serve as a reference as well as a delightful brows-ing book. A brief text introduces each section, and the book concludes with separate sections on 20th-century art-ists categorized by country.

An Illustrator’s Sketchbook Master Drawings from the Model Arthur KellerIntroduction by William Steven Kloepfer, Jr .

In 1920, a well-known illustrator com-piled hundreds of his preliminary stud-ies of costumed models, photographed them, and produced two portfolios. The result is a revealing look into an expert’s technique and, according to The New York Times, offers an “opportunity to know a competent illustrator in his moments of preparation, of direct and prompt notation, the salient features of his subjects emphasized.” While the book offers no descriptive text, the energy and expressiveness of these studies will inspire art students and professionals to a higher appreciation of the rendering of the draped figure.

An elegant offering for all Rackham fans, this volume includes many long-unavailable pieces and an Introduction by the author of the Oxford Book of English Verse .

A commercial artist with modern sensibilities, Alan E. Cober encountered his subjects in retirement homes as well as such notorious institutions as Willowbrook State School and Sing Sing Correctional Facility. His 92 expressive pen-and-ink por-traits of social outsiders recall the traditions of Albrecht Dürer and George Grosz.
