George Washington Crossing The Hudson

Washington Takes Manhattan:

Felipe Galindo Feggo’s New York Discoveries

Art Exhibition May 17- August 11, 2019

Morris-Jumel Mansion, 65 Jumel Terrace,

Washington Heights,

near 163 St. Train C station.

Open Tue-Fri 10am-4pm;

Sat-Sun 10am-5pm

Over the past several decades New Yorker cartoonist Feggo

has taken the viewer on an unexpected tour of this

monumental metropolis from the vantage point of subjects

like George Washington, Frida Kahlo, and Mesoamerican gods.

The interaction between these historical subjects and the

contemporary New York proves amusing and ironic.

Washington, who during his tenure in New York during

the American Revolution encamped at the Morris–Jumel

Mansion (the oldest house in Manhattan), attempts to

rationalize 21st century New York experiences, whereas

Kahlo snaps selfies while engaging in general tourist

activities, and a Toltec god takes a break from the

Metropolitan Museum of Art and suns himself in Central Park.

Over 30 of these amusing and poignant images will fill the

second-floor museum galleries, and serve to continue

the dialogue begun in the fall of 2017 when the work of iconic

New Yorker magazine cartoonist, Charles Addams explored

similar Manhattan related themes.

Manhatitlan:
Mexican and American Cultures Intertwined
by Felipe Galindo
Published by Jorge Pinto Books.
Introduction by Peter Canby, The New Yorker.
56 pg., 8.5 x 5.5", full color.
"Feggo's work stands in the rich tradition of Mexico's socially engaged art, an art that strives, using humor and irony, to make sense out of our beautiful and ever more baffling world." -From the Introduction by Peter Canby
"What a wicked sense of humor Galindo has. Mexican artifacts enact absurd acts of revenge on Big Apple institutions, a bit like anti-imperialist New Yorker cartoons." -The Washington Post
"Galindo's appealing images superimpose Mexican icons over the New York cityscape, in a playful nod to the multiculturalism that helps make the city great." -Time Out New York

“Felipe’s work is not only good humored but good hearted and guaranteed to lift your spirits!” —
Gahan Wilson (Playboy, The New Yorker)

“It is a rare cartoonist who appeals to such diverse readerships as The New Yorker, the Reader’s Digest, Barron’s, and Nickelodeon, to name just a few of the magazines where the widely published Felipe Galindo’s cartoons can be found. As cartoon editor of The New Yorker I especially enjoy Felipe’s carefully constructed sight gags, whose wordless humor unites all demographics in laughter.”
— Bob Mankoff, Cartoon Editor, The New Yorker
