This exhibition commemorates the recent acquisition of 60 cartoon drawings, sketchbooks, and illustrations of one of America’s most popular editorial cartoonists. It documents Pat Oliphant’s efforts to refine his style through prints, paintings, and sculpture. Considered among the most gifted practitioners in the history of the profession, he has caricatured seven United States presidents, from Lyndon Johnson to Bill Clinton, and offered provocative graphic commentary on salient social and political issues of the past three decades, including Watergate, Vietnam, the collapse of communism in Europe, and the Gulf War.
