George Price: Talk/Don't Talk

It was just a couple of months before the founding of the National Organization of Women when George Price's cartoon was published in the April 14, 1966 issue of The New Yorker. Price's characters are not exactly caught up in the social movements of the sixties. The original art was one of two Price works that came to the auction block on Sunday.

The three empty chairs, two of them catty-cornered, each lead our eye to the electric sign. The husband acts as if he is oblivious to the extreme irritation he is very deliberately causing.
