Is my voice pleasing and well-modulated? "A secretary is a person - usually female - whom the boss tells everybody but her he couldn't do without." more »
Ridiculing Human Limitations, Odious Interests and Ill Manners: Seriously Funny, Caricature Through the Centuries
Seriously Funny aims to contextualize recently acquired French lithographs within the larger comedic graphic tradition in Europe and America by installing them alongside prints, drawings, paintings, and sculpture from the 16th to the 21st century. With its jocularity often mistaken for triviality, caricature has long been misunderstood as inferior to artworks created in the classical Grand Manner, the large and imposing academic easel paintings that artists were trained to emulate. more »
