Created in the 1960s, The Party takes place in the Hamptons. It' s attended by captains of industry, tycoons, magnates, moguls, and various undistinguishable fat cats, luxuriating in their tuxedos, evening gowns, and prattling small talk. The depiction of one grotesquerie after another ? often couples ? cavorting through the haze of booze and caviar, with the occasional wanton display of sybaritically libidinal impulse. Ungerer accompanies each full-page image with a hilarious, hand-lettered caption, which provides the characters' names and a brief deadpan description of their social standings, creating a dissonance between image and text.
This antiestablishment satirical masterpiece practically vibrates with class war rage and will resonate with similarly inclined contemporary readers.
Tomi Ungerer was born in Strasbourg, France, in 1931. He is a cartoonist known for authoring more than a hundred books, both for children and adults. In 1957, he moved to the United States, where he became well-known for his satirical advertising campaigns. In 1998, he was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Prize. He currently lives in Ireland and Strasbourg.
