A prominent artist ventured behind locked doors to portray three forgotten social classes: the elderly, people in mental institutions, and the prison population. Alan E. Cober began his career in the 1960s, when illustration took a turn toward a new expressionism. Influenced by the works of Ben Shahn, George Grosz, and Albrecht D rer, he believed that narrative art could inform public attitudes toward political and social issues. Cober's aim as a visual journalist was to effect change by graphically exposing the realities of our times.
The Forgotten Society presents ninety-two of Cober's most compelling and emotionally charged visual essays. The distinctive pen-and-ink portraits reveal the hidden worlds of people removed from the public eye, including residents of retirement homes, of Staten Island's Willowbrook State School, and of Sing Sing Correctional Facility. The artist, who frequently befriended his subjects, offers compassionate views of the isolation of lives lived on the margins of society. Cober received many awards in his lifetime and was recently inducted into the Society of Illustrators' Hall of Fame. This edition features an insightful introduction by his daughter, Leslie Cober-Gentry, who notes, Cober's art was about communication. The world was his audience.

Not for my kids
Scary ball to my dogs. The power button is inside so you have to unscrew it, turn it on & screw it back together before it starts moving. It's not easy. It's harder than a rubber ball so I think it would be sturdy. It might work for some dogs, but mine ran for the hills!

High Priced Junk ! Don’t Purchase !!
Color: Blue
This is junk !!! Had it about 10 minutes till it stopped working !!!! Made cheap ! When my dog picked it up and dropped it from about 8-10 inches from the floor, it splits apart and kept doing that ! Also the inside part stopped working after the 1st time ! Warning ! This is very cheaply made ! For the price I thought it would be a good product. This proved me wrong !

Pup loves this!
Size: 6 Inch, Color: Red
This soccer ball is so cute. My dog loves to play with these. The straps are durable, easy to pump up (they come with a pump), good value for the money since they tend to last awhile, at least for us. The straps are durable but could be an issue if your dog is an aggressive chewer. They stay pumped up for quite awhile and just need to be topped off once in awhile to keep the bounce there. We keep them outside even in the winter and they do just fine. HIghly recommend as a good play toy.
