Gene Markey
Caricatures
Before the thoroughbred racehorses and Kentucky's Calumet Farm, before his distinguished service with the United States Navy during the Second World War, before his successful career as a Hollywood producer/screenwriter and his several Hollywood marriages, Gene Markey was a caricaturist, and a very good one.
Early in his peripatetic career, Gene Markey drew a series of caricatures that captured the idiosyncrasies of America's literary and theatrical celebrities and other newsworthy characters of the early 1920s. His subjects included actors, critics, musicians, newspaper editors, poets, professors, and writers. Some of these characters achieved enduring fame, others are now largely forgotten, but Gene Markey's caricatures make them all seem familiar.
Caricatures by Gene Markey is freely adapted from two of the author's previously published works, including Literary Lights, originally published in New York by Alfred A. Knopf in 1923, and Men About Town, originally published in Chicago by Covici-McGee in 1924. Both titles were published without text, save for brief captions to each caricature, captions that were provided by the author. In the present edition, a new Foreword has been added and the original captions have been retained.
