☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Meet The New Staff of MAD" offers a delightfully absurd take on art history, reimagining masterpieces like David and The Milkmaid through the primate lens of the Museum of Monkey Art (MOMA). With a playful Winter/Spring Catalogue format, this issue features satirical takes on famous works—complete with titles like Gorilla With A Pearl Earring and Whistler's Monkey—all illustrated by a rotating team of artists including Hermann Mejia, Roberto Parada, James Warhola, and Richard Williams. The cover, by Irving Schild and Jack Syracuse, captures the zany spirit with its own monkey-infused twist.
