One being the inclusion--inexplicably--of a contemporary European caricaturist Sigfried Woldhek who is way out of his league, the other an inclusion of an Enrique Chagoya for much the same reason. I've seen much better work produced within the editorial circles I move within than those particular offerings. Still there is much to admire.RAA: Writers Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02213300582977331108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34972514.post-72015387294029303912012-01-11T22:16:32.065-08:002012-01-11T22:16:32.065-08:00Good Humor at the Met—Caricature and Satire Explor...Good Humor at the Met—Caricature and Satire Explored in Infinite Jest at the Metropolitan MuseumSeptember 13, 2011–March 4, 2012<br /><br />Gotta love The Internet!

I recall one year going to The Brooklyn Museum to see The Picasso exhibit and was forbidden to take photos, which is somewhat understandable, but also to do drawing! In fact I remember feeling that we couldn't even stand in front if a particular piece for too long! LOL! I hope this isn't the case of The Met! After all, for us artists, copying is how we learn!Elgin Subwaysurfer Bollinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814674628882541222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34972514.post-84788529008949154732012-01-11T22:02:12.743-08:002012-01-11T22:02:12.743-08:00Didn't hear about THAT.

It really is a first rate show with some of the greatest hits of caricature from over the last 400 years.RAA: Writers Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02213300582977331108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34972514.post-141977175389455422012-01-11T20:57:23.312-08:002012-01-11T20:57:23.312-08:00I'll take the risk of having readers look upon...I'll take the risk of having readers look upon your grotesque visage and focus instead on my insightful scribbling.<br /><br />Thanks for the tip.

Namely Gilbert Highet's "The Art of Teaching" Though not focused specifically on the Arts, there is much to be gleaned from this slender volume.RAA: Writers Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02213300582977331108noreply@blogger.com
