Lessons From The Gibson Girl: Her Quest for Equality, Justice, and Love - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Lessons From The Gibson Girl traces the Gibson Girl in Charles Dana Gibson's satirical artwork as she captured the admiration of both men and women with seductive yet thought-provoking humor for more than thirty years. Not a biography of Gibson, it is a serious look at his satire and over 260 classic illustrations he wielded to lampoon society from his first cartoons in the Victorian 1880s through the rowdy 1920s.

Gibson gave voice to women of the era through the Gibson Girl. Even though a century has passed since his provocative, yet comedic art touched millions of readers, many of the problems he tackled are still visible on today's stage. Suffrage, gender equality, government corruption, and big business influence were the era's leading issues. As 2020 promises another year of questions and important choices to be made, Lessons From The Gibson Girl reminds us of concerns that sadly are still unresolved from more than 100 years ago.

Lessons From The Gibson Girl presents some of Charles Dana Gibson's best sketches and wit, delivering a fun read. Yet, like his drawings, there are lessons to be learned from the Gibson Girl and Gibson's entertaining illustrations.
