In a series for New York Amusements, a free weekly publication listing current shows, Hirschfeld designed his drawings to feature a portrait of a performer alongside a scene from his or her current success. This line is influenced by the thin French line Hirschfeld discovered in Parisian illustrated magazines and in the work of noted American illustrator John Held, Jr., with whom he worked alongside at MGM's publicity department in the late 1920s.
At this stage of his career, Hirschfeld was more interested in design than in capturing the character of a performer. In this portrait of Jane Cowl the jagged line that Covarrubias frequently employed reveals the electricity of Cowl's performance. Cowl was a leading lady of the American theater in the 1920s and 1930s and she frequently starred in revivals of perhaps her greatest role, in Robert Sherwood's The Road to Rome.
Hirschfeld "Hirschfelds" himself, applying his signature style to a self-portrait, as he has done periodically throughout his career. With great confidence and grace he employs sweeping abstract lines to define the upper body, animated shorter strokes to delineate an expression of bemused serenity.
As the New York Times introduced color into its pages, it has frequently asked Hirschfeld to supply paintings rather than drawings. Although he has drawn Liza Minnelli nearly twenty times in the last thirty-five years, in this recent work he creates a timeless, riveting summation of her style, evoking the lively, colorful caricatures of jazz greats he created for Seventeen magazine in the 1940s.
George PriceIncreasing divorce rates, women's liberation, and society's emphasis on sexuality in the 1970s led many Americans to reconsider the institution of marriage. George Price (1901-1995) uses his angular, almost cubist style to lampoon women going to great lengths to keep the spark in their relationships with men. In this gag cartoon, the unsuspecting husband walks through the door moments before his equally aged wife dressed in a Playboy bunny outfit and high heels surprises him. Price, a cartoonist with the New Yorker from 1932 to 1995, once said, "If the situation is funny enough it shouldn't require a line."

Relationships between men and women provided fodder for many gag cartoons, especially in the adult magazines published by Timely Features. The sharp-nosed secretary scorns her boss and he scolds her for failing to come to work on time. Her dress, inappropriate for work in the world of the 1950s, titillates. Thomas Jefferson Machamer (1900-1960) began publishing his cartoons and illustrations as a teenager and had a dual career with both mainstream periodicals and newspapers as well as adult publications. He drew the popular comic strip Gags and Gals for the New York Mirror and the Baffles for the Los Angeles Times.
