This exhibit serves to examine the depiction of old age in cartoons across a variety of topics and eras. I invite you to entertain the following questions as you view the images: What attitudes are expressed regarding old age? What historical or modern context may have contributed to the art? How do the artists' selection of this media type help or hinder their message?
The interpretations within which my analyses are grounded are reflective of my thoughts and understanding as an individual. The nature of art, particularly of this category, is to welcome the audience into exploring their own notions as they browse the work. The scope of interpretations is extensive!
