Item Description
This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of original art by the late local cartoonist John Caldwell. Each drawing is matted and framed and is an original, unpublished drawing.
American cartoonist John Caldwell, originally from Cohoes, began his career doing campaign posters for a classmate. He studied at the Parsons School of Design in Manhattan and worked as a cartographer at the state Department of Transportation before turning to cartooning and advertising art. His cartoons, with their spindly-headed humanoids, frequently appeared in National Lampoon, Playboy, The New Yorker, Mad Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and Barron's. He also produced a newspaper panel cartoon called 'Caldwell', which ran from 1985 to 1989. He lived in upstate New York, where he passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 69 in February 2016.
In addition to his cartoons, syndicated and featured in publications like the New Yorker, Playboy, and the Wall Street Journal, Caldwell had at least three books of his works published.
This offering is for the piece shown in the photograph attached.
