Laughter is a weapon used against all forms of power. From Weiditz to Ungerer, including Goya and Hogarth, this book offers a discovery of their images of social and political criticism. Across the centuries, the drawings confront each other in dialogues, sometimes unexpected, always striking, and unfold a history of satirical illustration from the Middle Ages to the present day. Through their graphic quality, they are part of the history of art; through their audacity, they reaffirm the importance of freedom of expression.
