CHURCHILL A LIFE IN CARTOONS - TIM BENSON KARTO...

Following an unrivalled political career that spanned a remarkable sixty years and reached both
the heights and the depths of political fortune  Sir Winston Churchill undoubtedly became the
world's most caricatured politician of all time. From entering Parliament in 1900 through to
his retirement in 1964  Winston Churchill in Cartoons will chart Churchill's illustrious and
tumultuous political career through the work of leading cartoonists from around the world.
Through these cartoons there developed very contrary views of Churchill  the glorious
cigar-chomping wartime leader and the flawed politician. In America he was adored by
cartoonists  while in Nazi Germany and in the post-war Soviet Union he was  unsurprisingly 
painted as a bumbling buffoon. After his passing in 1965  great contemporary cartoonists
including Peter Brookes  Steve Bell  Matt and Gerald Scarfe  continued to use him as a
benchmark for the world leaders that followed. Featuring the work of the some of the greatest
cartoonists of all time and providing a new perspective of an iconic figure  Winston Churchill
in Cartoons will include the very best and wittiest portrayals of Churchill the glorious
wartime leader  controversial politician  and emblematic British statesman.
