Would the Recession have riled Rembrandt, or the Bailout bewildered Blake? Would a modern Michelangelo
still have faith in Creationism? Dave Brown again channels the spirits of the Old Masters as they guide
his paintbrush across the broad canvas of 21s century politics. Through the medium of cartoon Goya gets
to grips with Gordon while Van Gogh hurls his old shoes at George Dubya.
In this second collection from
his long running series in The Independent, Dave saves for the nation 76 Masterpieces of the satirist’s
art, including Diana and Actaeon, and all for less than one two millionth of the cost of Titian’s
original.
Rogues’ Gallery II may possibly send Stubbs and Seurat spinning in their graves, but
hopefully it will simply leave the reader rolling with laughter.
CAMERON IN CARICATURE
An exhibition of cartoons on the Leader of the Tory Party, David Cameron.
13 October – 24 December
2009
This exhibition of 60 original political cartoons charts the fortunes of David Cameron since he
became Leader of the Conservative Party in December 2005. Due to his upbringing and education, Cameron
is often portrayed as a toff and is portrayed by Martin Rowson of the Guardian as Little Lord Fauntleroy.
After Cameron called for greater transparency in the publication of both Commons' expenses and councils'
expenditure, Steve Bell also of the Guardian now draws him as Dave the Jellyfish. As well as cartoons
by Bell and Rowson, there are also cartoons of Cameron by Peter Brookes and Morten Morland of The
Times,
Dave Brown and Peter Schrank of The Independent, Ingram Pinn of the Financial Times, and Andy Davey of
the Sun amongst many other leading cartoonists.
