The Port Huron Project, Julian Schnabel's Drawings, and Artists Against the War
Recommendations by R.C. Baker
"Ralph! What is the physical nature of evil?" Hunter S. Thompson once asked. The illustrator Ralph Steadman has answered his late pal with a blistering caricature of Bush as a sword-wielding, oil-spewing demon. There's not much subtlety in this show, but that's not what illustration is for—the best illos deliver a clever visual argument demanding that you at least think about an issue. In this exhibit, Mirko Ilic imagines coffins as gas pumps, and Serge Bloch demarcates a soldier into "Chuck," "Sirloin," and "Tripe." Illustration functions as the opening salvo of debate: "Artists Against the War" delivers the op-ed page in the raw. Society of Illustrators, 128 E 63rd, 212-838-2560. Through January 26.
