Lines with Power and Purpose: Editorial Cartoons “Lines with Power and Purpose: Editorial Cartoons,” is a special exhibit featuring 51 original editorial cartoons from the nation’s great metropolitan newspapers during the Golden Age of print journalism. Included in the exhibit are six works from Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonists as well as a station for visitors to create their own editorial cartoon. Editorial cartoons have delivered political views and commentary, addressing issues through more palatable and amusing illustration, since the first half of the 20th century. When initially viewed, many can be interpreted as simple drawings; however, they frame major events and carry deeply-rooted opinions providing both comic relief and shaping opinions of the day’s headlines. Using tight construction, the editorial cartoonist presents a powerful distillation of political argument through a simple image and a few words or a short caption. The exhibit includes works from Bruce Alexander Russell, Herbert Lawrence Block (Herblock), Charles G. Werner, C.D. Batchelor, Charles R. Macauley and Vaughan Shoemaker, all Pulitzer Prize winners, and works from many other cartoonists. This exhibition was organized by ExhibitsUSA, a program of the Mid-America Arts Alliance, and is curated by The Melton Gallery at the University of Central Oklahoma.
