Edward Sorel’s career started at the time of the rapid expansion of entertainment in the 1930s, being influenced by musicals, comics, cartoons, and other art forms. His first professional success came in the 1950s when he joined the political magazine Monocle. Coming from a politically active body of students at Cooper Union, it was here that he was first able to put his politics into print. Sorel’s career lies on his approaches to caricature, which was perfectly suited to the new-found confidence of magazines and newspapers that occurred in the 1960s. Sorel’s work has featured in a vast number of publications, including The Nation, The Atlantic, Fortune, Harper’s, Penthouse, and The New Yorker.
