Portfolio: Fake News & Lying Pictures: Political Prints in the Dutch Republic [Exhibition 2022]

Comedians, editorial cartoons, and memes harness the power of satire, parody, and hyperbole to provoke laughter, indignation—even action. These forms of expression are usually traced to eighteenth-century artists, such as William Hogarth, but they are grounded in the unprecedented freedom of artistic expression in the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic. [Curated by Maureen Warren, Curator of European and American Art. With loans; at KAM Aug 25, 2022 through Dec 17, 2022; traveling exhibit]
