Summary

This lavishly-produced volume brings together some of the most outstanding and outrageous illustrations ever created. The 1960s and 70s were years of revolt and utopian dreams, of struggle, hope and disillusion, of unexpected and unpredictable events. A new generation of illustrators arrived on the scenes in New York and Paris, London and Los Angeles, Warsaw, Tokyo, Berlin and Milan, and magazines like the New Yorker, Esquire, Lui, Playboy, Ramparts, Evergreen, Nova, Twen, New York Magazine, Elle and Life called on the best of them for pictorial commentary, humor and enlightenment.

With great design and an insightful text, this book is an unparalleled celebration of the art of illustration at its most powerful. Among others, it includes work by Seymour Chwast, Roman Cieslewicz, Paul Davis, Andrzej Dudzinski, Jean-Michel Folon, Andre Francois, Shigeo Fukuda, Milton Glaser, Jean Lagarrigue, Alain Le Saux, Pierre Le-Tan, Gabriel Pascalini, Guy Peellaert, Michel Quarez, Roland Topor, Tomi Ungerer, Miriam Wosk, Tadanori Yokoo.
