Description
Creatures abound in Edward Koren’s drawings. Domestic or wild, realistic or fantastic, they appear in all shapes and sizes, interacting with humans or each other in a great variety of compositions and settings. Koren acknowledges that his “array of beasts and assorted animals do not constitute a cast of types or of characters that are constant and identifiable.”
His pride in the singularity of his creations is apparent in this cartoon of a cheerful couple with hairy human bodies and oversized saurian heads, reclining on a hill in the countryside. “Isn’t it astonishing,” one says to the other, “that no two of us are exactly alike.”
