Show Notes
Comedian and author Alexei Sayle meets his friend, graphic novelist Oscar Zarate, at the Cartoon Museum in London, where they explore highlights from a collection of thousands of cartoons. Picking out some of their favourite artists, they follow the evolution of the art form, from William Hogarth and Thomas Rowlandson’s depictions of Georgian society to the present day. Chatting to the museum’s experts, they look at how different drawing styles bring social and political commentary to life, and even make their own cartoon.
Notes:
The exhibition ‘This Exhibition is a Work Event!’ is at the Cartoon Museum until 16 April 2023. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
