George Washington Back In NYC

George Washington:

Back in New York City

Published by Now What Media

In this humorous book, George Washington returns to

present-day New York City in a series of whimsical

and warm-hearted cartoons by Felipe Galindo Feggo.

The Mexican artist who lives in Upper Manhattan depicts

the Nation's First President rediscovering the city he knew

from his Revolutionary War days, a metropolis transformed

by varied and vibrant immigrants. Funny and surreal

scenes unfold as cultures gently clash and the Founding

Father comes to appreciate how much his country

 has grown.

This is a companion volume to the exhibition

 Washington Takes Manhattan:

Felipe Galindo Feggo's New York Discoveries

presented at the Morris-Jumel Mansion Museum

in New York City, May-August 2019.

The text is in English and Spanish.

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
