{"product_id":"kurt-vonnegut-drawings-hardcover","title":"Kurt Vonnegut Drawings (Hardcover)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThose who know Kurt Vonnegut as one of America's most beloved and\ninfluential writers will be surprised and delighted to discover that he was also a\ngifted graphic artist. This book brings together the finest examples of his funny,\nstrange, and moving drawings in an inexpensive, beautifully produced gift\nvolume for every Vonnegut fan.\n\nKurt Vonnegut's daughter Nanette introduces this volume of his never before\npublished drawings with an intimate remembrance of her father. Vonnegut always\ndrew, and many of his novels contain sketches. Breakfast of Champions (1973)\nincluded many felt-tip pen drawings, and he had a show in 1983 of his drawings at\nNew York's Margo Feiden Gallery, but really got going in the early 1990s when he\nbecame acquainted with the screenprinter Joe Petro III, who became his partner in\nmaking his colorful drawings available as silkscreens.\n\nWith a touch of cubism, mixed with a Paul Klee gift for caricature, a Calder-like ability\nto balance color and line, and more than a touch of sixties psychedelic sensibility,\nVonnegut's aesthetic is as idiosyncratic and defiant of tradition as his books. While\nwriting came to be more onerous in his later years, making art became his joyful\nprimary activity, and he made drawings up until his death in 2007. This volume, and a\nplanned touring exhibition of the drawings, will introduce Vonnegut's legion of fans to\nan entirely new side of his irrepressible creative personality.\nRead more\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Monacelli Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52289388249390,"sku":null,"price":3704.05,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/9320\/6574\/files\/61x7i45PkFL._SL1200.jpg?v=1783550261","url":"https:\/\/bookalley.in\/products\/kurt-vonnegut-drawings-hardcover","provider":"Bookalley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
