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.

reviewed Philip Guston's Poor Richard on July 05, 2011 Philip Guston's Poor Richard
For much of his career, Philip Guston was known as an abstract artist. Later, he began to include cartoon-like figures and objects in his works. In 1971, he did a series of drawings of Richard Nixon and company (Agnew, Kissinger, & Mitchell). The entire series of drawings is included in this book. Guston captures Nixon and his cohorts perfectly and nails them to the wall.
