Edward SOREL (b. 1929).

Original Pen and Ink caricature portrait of F.D.R., on paper, laid down on board (overall: 13 ¾ x 10 1/2in; 348 x 267mm), the surround marked up with instructions for plate making.

A drawing that was designed to be reduced from 4 7/8 inches wide to just 2 ¼ inches. “Edward Sorel ‘American illustrator, caricaturist, cartoonist, graphic designer and author. His work is known for its storytelling, its left-liberal social commentary, its criticism of reactionary right-wing politics and organized religion. Formerly a regular contributor to The Nation, New York Magazine and The Atlantic, his work is today seen more frequently in Vanity Fair. He has been hailed by The New York Times as "one of America's foremost political satirists". As a lifelong New Yorker, a large portion of his work interprets the life, culture and political events of New York City. There is also a large body of work which is nostalgic for the stars of 1930s and 1940s Hollywood when Sorel was a youth. Sorel is noted for his wavy pen-and-ink style, which he describes as "spontaneous direct drawing" ‘  (Wikipedia).
