Exhibition: Fake News & Lying Pictures: Political Prints in the Dutch Republic

University Galleries, University of San Diego, San Diego, CA, United States

University Galleries, University of San Diego
Founders Hall 102

San Diego, CA 92110

Comedians, editorial cartoons, and memes harness the power of satire, parody, and hyperbole to provoke laughter, indignation—even action. These forms of expression are usually traced to eighteenth- century artists, such as William Hogarth, but they are grounded in the unprecedented freedom of artistic expression in the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic. This exhibition explores the complex visual strategies early modern Dutch printmakers used to memorialize historical events, lionize and demonize domestic and international leaders, and form consensus for collective action.

The exhibition is curated by Maureen Warren, Curator of European & American Art, Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Jan Saenredam, Allegory of the Flourishing State of the United Provinces, 1602. Engraving with hand coloring. Krannert Art Museum.
