The Caricatures of Gordon Currie

A collection of caricatures by artist/correspondent Gordon Currie. Currie was a columnist/artist for the Los Angeles Mirror, the Motion Picture Herald, the Hollywood Reporter, the Melbourne Age, the Sydney Morning Herald, and many more. He also was commissioned by major studios (MGM, Fox, etc.) for caricature assignments for studio art. In the 1950s, he traveled the US with his gallery of portrait caricatures of the famous of the period, mostly drawn in person. Every president from Truman through Nixon had sat for him at one time or another (Reagan as well when he was governor), and countless other actors and notable figures. This collection or black-and-white images is an excellent cross-section of his work.
