All the Art That's Fit to Print (and Some That Wasn't) Thirty years of New York Times Op-Ed Art

Looks like a trip to the bookstore is in order. All the Art That's Fit to Print (And Some That Wasn't) is a thirty year collection of New York Times Op-Ed drawings, including killed images and a forward by Ralph Steadman. Editor Jerelle Kraus has set up an extensive website for the book, including photographs, statements, and gallery. (Check-out this crazy artist list.)

"Unlike the gorgeous color illustrations that appeared in glossy magazines, our work was defined by short deadlines, low budgets and simple reproduction. This discipline taught us to whittle our imagery down to sharp points. We let authors dissect their subjects, stretching thought out in time. We tried to compress thought into space. The Op-Ed page was an experiment in form and content. Its success showed that if a picture is worth a thousand words, it’s worth more when an artist has something to say. "— Brad Holland
