American Illustration 21 presents more than 350 images guaranteed to tantalize both the mind and the eye. Chosen for the excitement they generate on the page, these drawings epitomize the art of illuminating a complex idea, of creating a visual pun, of drawing a revealing portrait. Wit and wisdom abound in drawings whose very line work can generate a laugh, or a shudder. Seen together, the illustrations in volume 21, selected by a jury of publishing and art professionals, demonstrate the creative range of the liveliest medium in the communication arts. Since 1982, art directors, editors, and designers have called American Illustration the best lead to cutting-edge talent. For people hooked on the visual arts, it's the most evolved and portable gallery in print today.
