Richard Williams "Alfred E. Neuman and Norman Rockwell" 2002
LIke many kids, I grew up fascinated with MAD magazine-not just for the irreverent humor, but the amazing artwork each issue contained. Now the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA is hosting an exhibit of MAD art.
This exhibition explores the unforgettable art and satire of MAD, from its beginnings in 1952 as a popular humor comic book to its emergence as a beloved magazine that spoke truth to power and attracted generations of devoted readers through the decades. MAD's influence and cultural impact will be explored in this landmark installation, which features iconic original illustrations and cartoons created by the magazine's Usual Gang of Idiots—the many artists and writers who have been the publication's mainstays for decades.
