April 7: PICTURING A LIFE – THE THREE ESCAPES OF HANNAH ARENDT EXHIBITION OPENING & ARTIST TALK

Free

Event Information

Exhibition opening & artist talk featuring original drawings from Ken Krimstein's graphic novel The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt.

About this event

PICTURING A LIFE – THE THREE ESCAPES OF HANNAH ARENDT

Mark your calendar on April 7, 2022 at 6:30 PM for an EXHIBITION OPENING & ARTIST TALK with New Yorker Magazine cartoonist and writer Ken Krimstein and comic connoisseur Warren Bernard!

The exhibition will feature original drawings from Ken Krimstein's acclaimed graphic novel The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt.

Compassionate and enlightening, playful and page-turning, New Yorker cartoonist Ken Krimstein's The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt is a strikingly illustrated portrait of a complex, controversial, deeply flawed, and irrefutably courageous woman, whose intelligence and "virulent truth telling" led her to breathtaking insights into the human condition, and whose experience continues to shine a light on how to live as an individual and a public citizen in troubled times.

Taking Hannah Arendt's revolutionary and highly controversial thinking as a reference, Ken Krimstein highlights the complexity of who Hannah Arendt was. Fleeing Nazi Germany in 1933, first to Paris and then later to the United States, Arendt went on to become one of the great icons of our time. Krimstein weaves together Arendt's dramatic biography and her ideas together in this charming, often funny, book. Illustrated in muted greys, Krimstein uses a splash of green to highlight the figure of Arendt in each drawing, picturing her with a serious countenance, a mass of curls, and a cigarette perpetually dangling from her fingers.

Ken Krimstein is a cartoonist, author, and educator whose work appears in The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Chicago Tribune. His 2021 book, When I Grow Up - The Lost Autobiographies of Six Yiddish Teenagers has been named an NPR Best Book of the Year, a Washington Post Best Book of the Year and Top Ten Graphic Novel of 2021, and a Chicago Tribune Fall "Best Read." His 2018 book The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt won the Bernard J. Bromel Award for Biography and Memoir and was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award. He teaches at DePaul University and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Warren Bernard is Executive Director of the Small Press Expo (SPX) independent sequential art festival, and is a comics-focused writer and historian. He co-authored the Eisner Award-nominated book Drawing Power, and has extensively researched and written about the 1950s Juvenile Delinquency / Senate Comic Book Hearings. A contributor to more than a dozen books, he often provides rare materials from his own extensive collection. Both the Library of Congress and The Center for Cartoon Studies (CCS) have hosted his lectures.
