Description
Event Description

From 1962 to 1997, Thomas Engelhardt drew over 8,000 editorial cartoons for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, a body of work that can be viewed as a challenge to the status quo and, in many instances, a weapon of attack against social injustice. Engelhardt dealt with tough political issues such as money and influence, smear campaigns, and “spin,” as evidenced in elections that debated the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, the environment, poverty and crime in U.S. cities, and the actions of state and local government. Engelhardt on Elections will be on display until January 17, 2009.
