Philip Guston's Poor Richard is a american wit and humor, pictorial, caricatures and cartoons book by Philip Guston.
About this book
"In 1971, as the race for the presidency heated up, the artist Philip Guston (1913-1980) created a series of caricatures of Richard Nixon titled Poor Richard. Produced two years before Watergate and three years before Nixon's resignation, these condemnations of a corrupt head of state are remarkable, prescient political satire. The drawings mock Nixon's physical attributes - his nose is rendered as an enlarged phallus throughout - as well as his notoriously dubious, shifty character. This book is the first complete publication of these drawings."--BOOK JACKET.
