Memoirs and Observations: 20th Century

This book of illustrations was created in the 1970's by Beny Tchaicovsky with the title Memoirs and Observations ( 20th Century). Tchaicovsky left these drawings compiled in this booklet format split into four sections: The World, Desire, Relationships, and Epilogue. Reflecting his critical vision of contemporary society and mainstream cultural values, they express an outcry against war and the opposition to an unconscious way of life product of society's soulless technological progress. There are no panels, no written bubbles, no backgrounds. They are black ink drawings divided into chapters, neatly arranged figures in a wordless narrative about the world and the human condition, with insights on relationships at the intersection of the sarcastic, funny and the deeply philosophical.
