    Edward Benjamin Koren (December 13, 1935 – April 14, 2023) was an American writer, illustrator, and political cartoonist, most notably featured in The New Yorker.[1]

    Early life and education

    [edit]

    Edward Benjamin Koren was born in a Jewish family in New York City on December 13, 1935,[2] and attended Horace Mann School and Columbia University, graduating in 1957.[3] He did graduate work in etching and engraving with S. W. HayteratAtelier 17inParis, France, and received an M.F.A. degree from Pratt Institute in 1964.[2]

    Professional career

    [edit]

    Koren began his cartooning career at Columbia while drawing for the college's humor magazine. After college, he went on to teach art at Brown University until 1977.[2]

    In May 1962, The New Yorker accepted one of his cartoons. It featured a sloppy-looking writer, cigarette dangling from his lips, sitting before a typewriter. Printed on his sweatshirt is one word: "Shakespeare".[2] From then The New Yorker published thousands of his cartoons and illustrations, including dozens of full-color drawings published on the magazine's cover. After several years of continued publishing, he quit his teaching job at Brown University and devoted himself full-time to cartooning.[2]

    Koren also contributed to many other publications, including The New York Times, Newsweek, Time, GQ, Esquire, Sports Illustrated, Vogue, Fortune, Vanity Fair, The Nation, and The Boston Globe. He collaborated with numerous contemporary humorists and authors, notably George Plimpton and Delia Ephron.[2] Koren's cartoons, drawings, and prints have been widely exhibited in shows across the United States as well as in France, England, and Czechoslovakia.[2]

    Koren's political cartoons did not appeal to a specific political party; rather, they were made in order to portray the middle class's frustration with the government.[4]

    Columbia University's Wallach Gallery exhibited a retrospective of his work, "The Capricious Line" in 2010.[5] Luise Ross Gallery (New York, NY) exhibited his work concurrently in the exhibition "Parallel Play – Drawings 1979 – 2010".[6]

    Personal life

    [edit]

    In 1961, Koren married Miriam Siegmeister. Together they had a daughter and a son. They were divorced in 1973. In 1982, he married Catherine Curtis Ingham. The couple had a son.[2]

    Koren resided with his family in Vermont where he was a member of the Brookfield Volunteer Fire Department, formerly serving as its captain.[2]

    He died of lung cancerinBrookfield, Vermont, on April 14, 2023, at the age of 87.[2]

    Honors

    [edit]

    Koren received a Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Union College, and received a John Simon Guggenheim FellowshipinFine Arts in 1970. He received the Vermont Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts in 2007. Koren was appointed Vermont's second Cartoonist Laureate in 2014, serving in the position until 2017.[7]
