| Summary |
This final episode explores the ways in which contemporary artists use irony, goofiness, satire and sarcasm. The four artists profiled in this program - Eleanor Antin, Raymond Pettibon, Elizabeth Murray and Walton Ford - have been influenced by the history of humour and comedy, including vaudeville, cartoons, and comic books. Working in a variety of media, including drawing, painting, performance, photography, and printmaking, their artworks reveal how humour and satire can stimulate laughter as well as serve as a vehicle to explore serious subjects, such as feminism, the natural environment, the excesses of consumer culture, social injustice and war |
