We shall satirise him on the beaches… Churchill through the eyes of cartoonists – in pictures | Illustration. In one wartime image, Winston Churchill is portrayed as a dragonslayer; in another, a gun-toting gangster. Later, he appears old and dejected, overdue for retirement. The cartoons, on show in a new exhibition at the Imperial War Museum London, show a multitude of Churchills, reflecting how he was seen in different countries and at different times, from 1909 onwards. “There was never a consensus view of him,” says curator Kate Clements. “Some of the depictions were heavily critical and even grotesque”, while others “depict his determined nature and portray him as a British figurehead”. Clements hopes the exhibition will “add another layer to our visitors’ understanding of this complex individual” and show “how satirical cartoons played a part in shaping perceptions of Churchill during his lifetime and beyond”.

La caricature ou l'art de grossir les traits : épisode du podcast La complexité, une valeur en baisse ? | France Culture. Grossir le trait. Comique de l’exagération et art de la caricature ne sont pas toujours de la même trempe exactement. Il y a d’ailleurs toute une histoire moderne à retracer, depuis les Maximes de La Rochefoucauld et les Caractères de La Bruyère, jusqu’au triomphe des caricatures dans les journaux du 19ᵉ siècle. Saisir au 17ᵉ siècle l’âme humaine et ses traits saillants, parfois désespérants, est-ce la même chose que rire du pouvoir et des bourgeois, à la façon d’Honoré Daumier, dans ce 19ᵉ siècle qui a connu un nombre impressionnant d’épisodes révolutionnaires ?

La simplification qui nous fait sourire semble comporter toute une gamme de nuances possibles… Des "Maximes" de la Rochefoucauld aux "Caractères" de La Bruyère, une certaine logique comportementale Pour Charles-Olivier Stiker-Métral, c'est plutôt le comportement qui est important pour ces moralistes. Ce quelque chose "de plus vrai que vrai" dans le dessin caricatural qui commence au XVIe siècle Références sonores. L’image mise en abyme (article sc.) [article en deux parties: partie 1, partie 2] Les dictionnaires et encyclopédies ne s’accordent pas sur la définition de l’expression “en abyme”. Trois sens distincts au moins sont immédiatement identifiables.

Pour le dictionnaire en ligne Larousse, « “en abyme” se dit d’une œuvre citée et emboîtée à l’intérieur d’une autre de même nature (récit à l’intérieur d’un récit, tableau à l’intérieur d’un tableau, etc.) ». Si l’on suit cette explication, un tableau représenté dans un tableau, quel que soit son sujet, et plus généralement une image quelconque incluse dans une autre image sont des images en abyme. La définition proposée par la neuvième édition du dictionnaire de l’Académie est moins extensive : « Mise en abyme, construction en abyme ou (rare) en abîme, procédé par lequel on intègre dans un récit, dans un tableau, un élément signifiant de ce récit ou de ce tableau, qui entretient avec l’ensemble de l’œuvre une relation de similitude. ». 1.

Copier, coller, manipuler, histoire du photomontage : épisode du podcast Photographie, une histoire sans cliché | France Culture. Le photomontage est un procédé fondé sur la combinaison d’éléments photographiques qui crée des images composites. Il se distingue du photocollage en ce sens qu’il est principalement destiné à la presse et aux affiches. Au 19ᵉ siècle, la pratique émerge dans le milieu de l’édition, de la publicité et de la presse. Plusieurs photographes se servent déjà du photomontage comme moyen de communication politique. C’est le cas du photographe Eugène Appert qui publie l’album "Les Crimes de la Commune" en 1871. À la fin des années 1910, les dadaïstes berlinois et les constructivistes russes s’emparent du procédé pour en faire un outil de propagande visuelle. Proches du spartakisme de Rosa Luxemburg et Karl Liebknecht, les dadaïstes berlinois créent des photomontages au sujet de la crise politique et morale de l’Allemagne d’après-guerre.

Un moyen de communication politique Le photomontage politique se développe également dans la France de l’entre-deux-guerres. À écouter Couper, coller, assembler. The first modern photograph ?

Dorothea LANGE > "Migrant Mother" photo series at the Library of Congress | American Masters. On March 11, 1936, Dorthea Lange’s iconic image, Migrant Mother, was published in the San Francisco News. Since that first publication, the iconic photo has come to represent America’s Great Depression and the strain of poverty in rural America. Migrant Mother is part of the body of work Dorothea Lange created while working for the Farm Security Administration. Many of Lange’s photographs of migrant farmers, sharecroppers and Dust Bowl farmers from that period are held today at the Library of Congress.

While researching the film American Masters — Dorothea Lange: Grab a Hunk of Lightning, director Dyanna Taylor – Lange’s granddaughter – visited the Library of Congress to discuss Lange’s photos with a curator at the library. Migrant Mother is just one of a series of photos Lange shot at a pea pickers’ camp in California. It was a stop she almost didn’t make.

“Gordon Parks’s photographs are timeless,” said Peter W Kunhardt Jr, executive director of the Gordon Parks Foundation. “As we reflect on what has happened in recent months, his photographs remind us to stand up, speak out and demand justice. This exhibition does just that, highlighting images that inspire resilience and empathy that the photographer made over many years.” The two-part exhibition, on view at both Jack Shainman Gallery locations in New York, is called Gordon Parks: Half and the Whole and until 20 February, photos from Parks taken between 1942 and 1970 will be showcased. There are portraits of political leaders, protest images and stills from the civil rights movement, from Malcolm X to Muhammad Ali and Black Panther party members Eldridge and Kathleen Cleaver.

There are photos from the segregated south, and from a police brutality protest in 1963, which has a striking resemblance to today’s America, over 50 years later. Gordon PARK, American Gothic, 1942. Young photographers from Gaza capture moments of joy. A quick Google search for Gaza will show you multiple images of rubble and raw sewage pouring into the Mediterranean. These are the images that often appear in our mind together with the things we once heard or read about the place. For example, that it is "the world's largest outdoor prison" or that it "will become unlivable". But is this the way Gazans themselves see their homeland? The photo competition we launched among young and extremely talented Gazan photographers was meant to answer this question.

At first, we were not sure, whether a photo competition was even a good idea. Would people, who are trying to live their lives though the economic crisis and the electricity crisis, unable to access basic goods and services, have time and energy to spare for such a trivial and unnecessary thing as a photo competition? It turned out they did. Jan Erik WAIDER | Northlandscapes. 'She beat Disney by a decade': How a 26-year-old German woman made the world's oldest animated feature film. Theo Bosboom Takes a Bug's-Eye View in His Perspective-Shifting 'Flowerscapes' — Colossal. Stand in any forest and look up, and it’s hard not to be mesmerized by the swaying of tall trees and their elegant canopies casting shade onto the woodland floor. But imagine being an ant or beetle and peering up at the stems of wild geraniums, garlic, or buttercups and experiencing the same sensation.

For photographer Theo Bosboom, this ground-level view of flowers and plants gave rise to a series that captures them in the way we might photograph a grove of towering, ancient sequoias. Traversing local landscapes around his home in the Netherlands and sometimes venturing across the border into Germany or Belgium, Bosboom explores forests, dunes, public parks, roadside verges, and virtually any place that flowers grow. These excursions also sparked concern at the lack of pollinators he found among the flowers. There are a lot of reasons for the steep drop in insect populations, not just in Europe but around the world. Bosboom finds reasons to hope, however. Activists Unveil Quilt Honoring Thousands Disappeared by ICE in Minnesota.

Activists unfurled a 24-foot-long quilt protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) violence at the Minnesota State Capitol on Tuesday, September 22. Made of 11,000 individual patches representing individuals disappeared by ICE in the state, the “Stolen Neighbors” quilt was stitched together by dozens of volunteers over the course of five months.

MIRAC member Owen Lubozynski told Hyperallergic that he was inspired to create the quilt based on discussions with activists about the most effective ways to keep people, including key Minnesotan lawmakers, engaged after Operation Metro Surge, President Trump’s deadly deployment of more than 3,000 Minnesotan officers and ICE agents across the state this past year. ICE agents shot three people; Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti were murdered on camera while protesting ICE presence in the Twin Cities. Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan immigrant, was shot in the leg, but survived.

A Vibrant Coral Ecosystem of Thousands of Crocheted Sculptures Confronts the Climate Crisis — Colossal. A new report released this week by an Australian agency says that the 1,400-mile Great Barrier Reef has undergone its sixth mass bleaching. About 91 percent of the brightly colored marine ecosystems were affected by this most recent catastrophe, which occurs when water temperatures rise. Disasters like this are becoming more frequent as the climate crisis intensifies, prompting artists like Christine and Margaret Wertheim to respond with striking displays of what could be permanently lost.

The Australia-born, California-based sisters began the Crochet Coral Reef project in 2005 to confront the devastations of bleaching, over-fishing, tourism, and agricultural contaminations through sprawling, labor-intensive environments. More than 40,000 of the oceanic works are now on view at the Museum Frieder Burda in Baden-Baden, transforming the gallery into textured ecosystems resting atop pillars and protected in glass cases. The Wertheims explain the project: 23,000-Square-Foot Clasping Arms Celebrate Community Resilience in Minneapolis — Colossal.

Across an expansive lawn at Minneapolis’ Boom Island Park earlier this month, Franco-Swiss artist Saype painted a monumental public artwork directly onto the grass. Part of his Beyond Walls series, which has so far seen 22 iterations around the world, the piece marked the first time the project appeared in the U.S. Minneapolis found itself in the global spotlight earlier this year when ICE descended on the city and spurred several weeks of turmoil, protests, and violence. Especially tragic were the killings of Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti during interactions with agents. The city is no stranger to the ripple effects of police brutality, especially in the wake of George Floyd’s murder in 2020 and the subsequent surge in Black Lives Matter protests around the world.

What Minneapolis also has in spades is a deeply felt sense of community. It’s the sort of place where neighbors help to shovel each other’s sidewalks and find innovative ways to support one another. Barnacle-covered football takes top prize in British Wildlife Photography Awards 2024. The winners of the British Wildlife Photography Awards 2024 have been announced.
