The New Yorker Magazine and its Cartoonists

Since it was founded in 1925, the New Yorker magazine has set the gold standard for cartoon humour. Their roster of artists includes the wonderful, whimsical James Thurber, Charles Addams (of Addams Family fame) and the brilliant and quirky Roz Chas producing a century of comic genius.

Lecturer: Barry Venning. Barry is an art historian whose interests and teaching range from the art of late medieval Europe to global contemporary art. He has published books, articles and exhibition catalogue essays on Turner, Constable and European landscape painting, and also has an ongoing research interest in British visual satire.  

This lecture will be preceded by our Annual General Meeting which will take place promptly at 1.30pm.
