\nIn January, 2013 Studio Gallery will present a special exhibit which celebrates America\u2019s editorial cartoonists and their work. The show focuses on donkeys and elephants, icons of partisan imagery since the 1800\u2019s, and features more than 70 pieces. It includes some of the earliest cartoons by Thomas Nast portraying donkey and elephants, a special exhibit of some of Herb Block\u2019s (Herblock) work, and over 50 contemporary cartoons from around the country and the world illustrating America\u2019s political scene during 2012.  <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n On Tuesday, January 22, from 6 \u2013 8 PM, Kevin Kallaugher, editorial cartoonist for The Economist Magazine, will give a presentation titled \u201cFrom Pen to Pixel: The Cartoons of Kal.\u201d  His presentation will include a review of Kal\u2019s cartoons on the Obama administration.  The presentation is open to the public.  <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n Donkeys and Elephants is a timely and thematically colorful exhibit whose goal is to inform the public about the history of political cartoons and the important role they play in the media and in American democracy today. Editorial cartoonists have always played a critical role in America\u2019s editorial pages. Today, in a technologic world that communicates increasingly through images, they have found a renewed importance in the online and social media sphere. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nThe exhibit has been made possible with the generous support of the Herblock Foundation.   Studio Gallery will also feature a lecture by Kevin Kallagher, editorial cartoonist for The Economist magazine who has been described by The World Encyclopedia of Cartoons as “one the premier caricaturists of the (twentieth) century.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
