Book Synopsis The Art of Controversy by : Victor S Navasky
Download or read book The Art of Controversy written by Victor S Navasky and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2013-04-09 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lavishly illustrated, witty, and original look at the awesome power of the political cartoon throughout history to enrage, provoke, and amuse. As a former editor of The New York Times Magazine and the longtime editor of The Nation, Victor S. Navasky knows just how transformative—and incendiary—cartoons can be. Here Navasky guides readers through some of the greatest cartoons ever created, including those by George Grosz, David Levine, Herblock, Honoré Daumier, and Ralph Steadman. He recounts how cartoonists and caricaturists have been censored, threatened, incarcerated, and even murdered for their art, and asks what makes this art form, too often dismissed as trivial, so uniquely poised to affect our minds and our hearts. Drawing on his own encounters with would-be censors, interviews with cartoonists, and historical archives from cartoon museums across the globe, Navasky examines the political cartoon as both art and polemic over the centuries. We see afresh images most celebrated for their artistic merit (Picasso's Guernica, Goya's "Duendecitos"), images that provoked outrage (the 2008 Barry Blitt New Yorker cover, which depicted the Obamas as a Muslim and a Black Power militant fist-bumping in the Oval Office), and those that have dictated public discourse (Herblock’s defining portraits of McCarthyism, the Nazi periodical Der Stürmer’s anti-Semitic caricatures). Navasky ties together these and other superlative genre examples to reveal how political cartoons have been not only capturing the zeitgeist throughout history but shaping it as well—and how the most powerful cartoons retain the ability to shock, gall, and inspire long after their creation. Here Victor S. Navasky brilliantly illuminates the true power of one of our most enduringly vital forms of artistic expression.
Download or read book Giles's War written by Tim Benson and published by Random House. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few contemporaries captured Britain’s indomitable wartime spirit as well or as wittily as the cartoonist Carl Giles. Now, for the first time, the very best of the cartoons he produced between 1939 and 1945 are brought together, including many that have not seen the light of day in over 75 years. As a young cartoonist at Reynold’s News and then the Daily Express, Giles's work provided a crucial morale boost – and much-needed laughs – to a population suffering daily privations and danger, and Giles's War shows why. Here are his often hilarious takes on the great events of the war – from the Fall of France, via D-Day, to the final Allied victory – but also his wryly amusing depictions of ordinary people in extraordinary times, living in bombed-out streets, dealing with food shortages, coping with blackouts, railing against bureaucracy and everyday annoyances. It's a brilliantly funny chronicle of our nation’s finest hour, as well as a fitting tribute to one of our greatest cartoonists.

Book Synopsis Peter Brookes of The Times by : Peter Brookes
Download or read book Peter Brookes of The Times written by Peter Brookes and published by Little Brown GBR. This book was released on 2002 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The case for Peter Brookes as our pre-eminent political cartoonist is well made. His daily contribution to the comment pages of The Times, not to mention his much loved Nature Notes series are frequently hilarious, sometimes poignant and always incisive. In this wonderful new book, he picks out a selection of his favourite drawings from recent years. New Labour, as ever, has been a rich source of material for a satirist of Brookes' ability, be it the Millennium Dome, Stephen Byers, Foot and Mouth disease, Stephen Byers, the Fuel Protests, Stephen Byers, spin doctors or Stephen Byers. The Conservative Party is treated with equal disdain, from the drinking ability of William 'Fourteen Pints' Hague to the anonymity of whatever it is his successor is called. This collection offers a diverse and delightful chronicle of our times: an astute cartoon telling laced with barbed wit and wisdom.
