Poor Richard (Broché)

Inspired by the life and career of Richard Nixon (especially his rapprochement with China), this volume reproduces seventy-three satirical, imaginative drawings also featuring Henry Kissinger, Spiro Agnew, and John Mitchell, including an original title page, all created by Philip Guston - one of the twentieth century's most inventive artists - in 1971. Conceived as a book, the drawings were unpublished during Guston's lifetime (1913-1980) and were not exhibited until September 2001 in New York.
Here for the first time they are brought together not so much as an art book but rather as the graphic novel they were meant to be. Four decades after Guston's death, these drawings are as provocative and timely as ever.
