MAN SAVES COMICS! The Art of the News: Comics Journalism
A new comics exhibit will be on display November 12, 2022 - May 7, 2023 at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum.
The Art of the News is organized by the University of Oregon’s Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (JSMA). The exhibition is curated by University of Oregon Comics Studies professor Katherine Kelp-Stebbins, with associate curator and director of Comics Studies, Professor Ben Saunders. It debuted at the JSMA in the fall of 2021.
“Without shying away from vital questions about the role of representation in the perception of reality, comics journalists are nevertheless telling stories that urgently need to be told—in an immediate and accessible way. As such, the best works of comics journalism stand as compelling examples of how the news might be reimagined as an artistic practice.” — The exhibition curator, University of Oregon Comics Studies professor Katherine Kelp-Stebbins
