The past decades of crisis were the catalyst for a renaissance in the art of the political cartoon. The tradition of of Honoré Daumier, Thomas Nast and David Low is seen in this fascinating exhibition of the work of today's editorial cartoonists from over forty countries. A myriad of world issues of the 80s and 90s are brought vividly to life: The Reagan-Bush era and Clinton Administrations; collapse of communism; the Israeli-Arab conflict; AIDS; abortion; the Gulf War; and many others from virtually every point of view. Some cartoonists reflect cynicism about leaders and institutions or the intractable problems of pollution, racism, drugs and famine. Others bear witness to man's never ending grappling with issues of war and peace. |
