Man with Big Smile - New Yorker Cartoon
-
Description
If a smile is an expression of momentary happiness, then the female in this cartoon appears driven to turn a moment into a more extended period of time. Leave it to Gahan Wilson to think up a unique perspective on human behavior and then execute it in his masterful, signature style of rendering people, conveying a complex story in a single picture. Gahan Wilson is regarded as one of the greatest cartoonists and conceptual art thinkers of all time. After all, cartoonists were some of the first conceptual artists.
