David Levine, An Original Caricaturist

I’ve always thought that it took just the right amount of genius to be a caricaturist. Whenever I see those illustrations of celebrities, politicians, intellectuals and athletes, they’re not just recognizable, but clever in the way they’ve been portrayed.

On Tuesday, one of the greats, David Levine, died. For nearly a half a century his work could be seen in The New York Times Book Review and so many publications, such as, The New Yorker, Rolling Stone and The Washington Post.
