- Edward Sorel (born Edward Schwartz, 26 March 1929) is an American illustrator, caricaturist, cartoonist, graphic designer and author. His work is known for its storytelling, its left-liberal social commentary, its criticism of reactionary right-wing politics and organized religion. Formerly a regular contributor to The Nation, New York Magazine and The Atlantic, his work is today seen more frequently in Vanity Fair. He has been hailed by The New York Times as "one of America's foremost political satirists". As a lifelong New Yorker, a large portion of his work interprets the life, culture and political events of New York City. There is also a large body of work which is nostalgic for the stars of 1930s and 1940s Hollywood when Sorel was a youth. Sorel is noted for his wavy pen-and-ink style, which he describes as "spontaneous direct drawing". (en)
- Edward Sorel (New York, 26 marzo 1929) è un designer, illustratore e animatore statunitense. Formatosi alla Cooper Union, insieme ad altri due compagni di studi, Milton Glaser e Seymour Chwast, formò i Push Pin Studios, che divennero presto noti nell'ambiente della grafica professionale americana negli anni '50. Dagli studios Sorel si distaccò nel 1958 per seguire strade creative autonome, fra l'altro realizzando numerose illustrazioni per opere destinate all'infanzia. La sua copiosa produzione comprende numerose copertine per The Nation, The Atlantic e The New Yorker, ed altre episodicamente ne realizzò per altre testate come Harper's Magazine, Fortune, Forbes, Esquire, American Heritage e The New York Times Magazine. Nel 1997 ne è stata pubblicata una raccolta dal titolo Unauthorized Portraits. Nel 1998 gli fu dedicata una personale alla National Portrait Gallery di Washington. (it)
