More Flavor: Discussion William Steig and the World of The New Yorker: A Panel Discussion with Robert Mankoff and Owen Smith
-
- William Steig, A Dream of Chicken Soup
The New Yorker's notoriously droll cartoons have done much to shape America's sense of highbrow humor, and few artists lent their singular talents to the magazine as frequently as William Steig. For more than 70 years, he contributed drawings, while illustrating a slew of classic children's books like Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, Dr. De Soto, and Shrek!, which of course spawned the ubiquitous film franchise. As part of the CJM's William Steig and the World of The New Yorker exhibit, the magazine's cartoon editor Robert Mankoff, alongside illustrator Owen Smith, contextualizes Steig's work in light of the magazine's history and answers audience questions.
