Breach in Etiquette
Arnold Roth depicts a riveting, amusing moment of breached etiquette during the 1970s lettuce boycott. With brilliant control of watercolor and delicate ink lines that recall drawings by such past masters as Thomas Rowlandson, Roth shows an outraged guest leaping over a dinner table to thrust a forkful of lettuce into his hostess’s face. Widely recognized as a highly versatile, award-winning cartoonist and illustrator, Roth practices his art with a flair and inventiveness that have made him popular in both the United States and England. His drawings often appear in leading American periodicals, as well as in the British magazine Punch before it ceased publication in 2002.
