Satire in Prints and Drawings

DATES June 27, 1966 through October 09, 1966
  • June 27, 1966 “Satire is a sort of glass, wherin [sic] beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own.“
    ...Jonathan Swift

    Effective satire seems to retain its bite through decades - even centuries, which Goya, Daumier, Rouault and their fellow artists illustrate in this exhibition. 94 prints and drawings have been selected from the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Museum. Quality, as well as satirical content, was a criterium for selection. Artists of several countries are represented and span two centuries beginning with Hogarth’s Southwark Fair, engraved in 1735 and ending with Wunderlich’s Olivia Twist printed in this decade.
