About

Why this artist matters now

Otto Soglow was an American cartoonist and illustrator known for his spare, economical line work and satirical social commentary. Active from the early twentieth century through the postwar period, he contributed regularly to The New Yorker and developed a distinctive visual vocabulary of minimal forms and wry humor. His drawings, often wordless or accompanied by brief captions, captured domestic and urban scenes with wit and formal restraint.
