ALL EMBARRASSED

by William Steig

Pub Date: June 16th, 1944
Publisher: Duell, Sloan & Pearce

Companion pieces to The Lonely Ones, for the special collectors of this artist, followers of psychological urrealism, in 101 pages of all kinds of embarrassment. These drawings are almost cerebral interpretation of mental stats, of effects of and response to people and situations — and often present a truly funny rendering of an idea, and almost as often a dismaying conception. These symbolic drawings are for the epicure rather than the public popularly conditioned to caricature.
