Take a peak inside the mind of Roz Chast at The Museum of the City of New York – Roz Chast: Cartoon Memoirs, she is a major contributor to the New Yorker magazine from 1978 until today. Just as a photograph can say volumes in a single image so does Chast’s drawings and captions…her interpretations of everyday life (anxieties, pleasures and perils) are truly genius. The Brooklyn born cartoonist contributed to many other magazines and illustrated several children’s books.
