His rare gift was the ability to enjoin such dichotomies in wonderfully crafted cartoons and<\/strong> <strong>drawings loved by millions worldwide. Born in Westfield, New Jersey in 1912, Addams became a freelance cartoonist in the early 1930s. He sold his first drawing to The New Yorker in 1933. His cartoons ran regularly in the magazine from 1938 up until his death<\/strong> <strong>in 1988. Addams drew more than 1,300 cartoons over the course of his life. Those that did not appear in The<\/strong> <strong>New Yorker were often in Collier\u2019s and TV Guide. This<\/strong> <strong>exhibition encompasses 60 original works (including<\/strong> <strong>several color paintings as well as black-and-white cartoons), divided into five categories: Art &amp;<\/strong> <strong>Architecture, Relationships, Addams Family, Anomalies, and \u201cPreliminary and Published,\u201d which consists of four published works and their associated<\/strong>
