Best remembered for his ‘The Man Who…’ cartoons, Henry Mayo Bateman (1887–1970) was a hugely prolific comic illustrator whose influence can be seen in the work of Ronald Searle and Ralph Steadman. A concise biography introduces this collection of hundreds of his drawings poking good-natured fun at irate colonels, opera singers, latecomers at the theatre, Christmas shoppers and suburban gardeners, amid a plethora of other fashions and follies.

Paperback. Condition: New. H.M. Bateman was the first truly modern British Cartoonist of the C20th. His dramatic and expressive drawings sizzled with intensity, he had the ability to "draw funnily". Known for The Man Who - a series which chronicled various social faux pas - he was an acute observer of British suburban life. "Bateman had an explosive vivacity, an assurance of line and an eye for the banalities of life. He was the great visible master of his day." - Ronald Searle This catalogue was published to accompany the exhibition H.M. Bateman: The Man Who Went Mad on Paper at the Cartoon Museum in 2012. Contents: Every line speaks for itself : the life of H.M. Bateman / Anita O'Brien -- The early drawings / John Jensen -- Logical impossibilities : the strip cartoons of H.M. Bateman / Anthony Anderson -- The pictures -- A perfectly serious business : H.M. Bateman's humorous drawing / Anita O'Brien. Seller Inventory # 0101086
