At age 93, Harry Mayerovitch penned these whimsical drawings that offer another perspective on the "way to go". Mayerovitch had a remarkable career as an architect, designer, and cartoonist for nearly seven decades. With this new book, D+Q focuses on his cartooning work spanning three very different stages in his life. It begins in 1943 with a comprehensive look at his World War Two cartoons, then moves ahead to 1973 with a major excerpt from his book The Other One, and culminates yet another 30 years later with Mayerovitch's most recent cartoons from 2003, Way to Go. The book presents a fascinating evolution of one artist's work, from drawings of Hitler to the final period in Way to Go, a playful wit, and wry artistic line full of energy and life.
Harry Mayerovitch was born in Montreal in 1910 and graduated from McGill University with his first degree in 1929. He spent the next seven decades working as an architect and artist. Recently, some of his work, including his brilliant 1940s posters for the war effort, has been published in editions of Drawn & Quarterly. He lives in Montreal.
