art


I noticed that Art Spiegelman is having an exhibit at the Jewish museum  For those of you who are not familiar with him, Spiegelman is a cartoonist and modern day Dada-ist.  He is most famous for his graphic novel Maus, which depicts true stories of the his father a  holocaust survivor, in comic form.  Historically, if Jews cant laugh, we are not true to ourselves.  But with that said, Maus, a mouse, vermin, the jew, persecuted by the cats, the Germans, attempts to present the inconceiable, the horrible, to a vast audience.  Spiegleman's  Zines are inspired!
