Four hundred definitive cartoons spanning five decade From the vast repertoire created by Michael Leunig since 1965 comes this inspired selection of his most universal and timeless pieces. Such is his prophetic insight that many of them are more relevant today - and funnier and more ironic - than when they were first published. This beautiful, colour-filled hardback includes some works not previously collected, along with an introduction by Leunig on how he creates: the process of discovering 'poetry and spirit in the playful winding path that the semiconscious pen makes on a piece of paper'. The Essential Leunig is a testament to the enduring appeal of a unique Australian artist. No library descriptions found. |

The Essential Leunig is a hardcover collection of 400 cartoons spanning the last forty years. For Leunig the images included here encapsulates his journey from "joy to gloom to delight to anger to hurt to love to sadness to silliness to dismay to rapture to bad taste to good faith to goodwill to yearning to humour to mischief to this thing to that thing..." amounting to a memoir of sorts.
Most Australians would be familiar with the unique motifs of Leunig which include a crescent moon, a man and his duck. There is usually a message to glean from each of Leunig's cartoons, no matter how whimsical they appear. Some are obviously a commentary on political and social affairs, others illustrate philosophical ideas and many of his pieces are accompanied by poetry or writing. He has strong views, especially regarding war and military action, and as such his work sometimes puts him at odds with editors. politicians and readers yet his pieces continue to prove popular.
With the inclusion of an introduction by Leunig on how he creates, this volume is sure to become a collector's item. The Essential Leunig is a wonderfully presented coffee table book and as such, would make a lovely gift for fans of the artist. ( )
