Description: A crowded multiverse teeming with critters, chaos, contraptions and calamities - the many creations of a fine artist, magazine & book illustrator, cartoonist and painter whose work spanned nearly seven decades. Cady specialized in constructing vivid, imaginative realms, over-populated with animals, people, and anthropomorphic bugs. This landmark monograph - the first-ever art book devoted to the work of this master - includes a career-spanning biography with over four hundred images. Step inside this bustling world and you'll find beetle ballerinas and fiddle-playing spiders, small towns alive with community and music, heartbreaking depictions of the devastations wrought by the Great War, and so much more. With a special focus on the abundant, hyperdetailed, microcosmic megalopoli which characterized Cady's early work, this overflowing tome lays out an astonishing visual feast, and tells the unforgettable story of one of the mad geniuses of American art.
