"Max, for all his enviable lightness of touch, was brushed by greatness....On the whole, he is best seen in the caricatures, which remain remarkably fresh....Like Daumier, he raises caricature to the level of art--beside Max, Thurber seems thin stuff and his cartoons mere doodles....The delicate colour washes and Max's peerless sense of design help to make his caricatures beautiful as well as funny....Hall's book provides a delightful introduction to Beerbohm's work."N. John Hall is the author of 'Max Beerbohm Caricatures', published 1997 under ISBN 9780300072174 and ISBN 0300072171.
