GEORGE BOOTH (1926-2022) (THE NEW YORKER) "How would I rate, hon, on a scale of one to ten?"
Cartoon for The New Yorker, published January 17, 1983, with their label on verso. Pen, ink, and watercolor, and correction fluid with collage on paper. 305x228 mm; 12x9 inches. Signed "Booth"in lower left and captioned again in his hand on verso, along with the name of the woman who gave him idea for the cartoon. Tipped to matte and framed to 19x15 inches.
A classic Booth cartoon, resplendent with cats in an array of poses, many of which are collaged onto the illustration, and a kindly credit to the person who provided him with the idea for the cartoon.
Booth was known for his main subjects of couples, cluttered interiors, and the antics of cats and dogs. The beloved New Yorker cartoonist died in early November. He was a kind man, full of life and good humor.
