Humor in Art

Humor is a far more powerful spark to creativity than is generally realized. For the first time, a collection of hundreds of great works that employ humor proves the point. Portraits of the powerful subtly poke fun at their subjects` pomposity; passionate drawings use satire to skewer a political point of view; whimsical fantasy creates a world where anything is possible; exaggerations needle people who take their attitudes too seriously.
