Cartoonist Jean-Jacques Sempé, who could make the world giggle, has died
The world-famous cartoonist could capture a moment, a gesture, an attitude, a situation like no one else. He illustrated 'Le Petit Nicolas', over one hundred 'The New Yorker' covers and published a collection of drawings almost every year. He died on August 11 at the age of 89.

You're invited - last 2022 Swann Fellow lecture today, Monday, August 15 at 5 pm EDT via Zoom
Swann Fellow Lecture - Imperial Projections: "Witnessing" the War of 1898 in American Visual Culture |
| Swann Fellow, Ramey Mize, PhD candidate in art history and the University of Pennsylvania and Assistant Curator of American Art at the Portland Museum of Art in Maine, will describe her research into the ways that technologies of violence, vision, and image-making intersected with the Battles of Santiago and San Juan Hill in the War of 1898. Firsthand sketches by William Glackens reflect a dissonance between the eyewitness claims of artists and the calculated erasure of Cuba's Liberation Army. Sent to the Cuban front by McClure's Magazine, Glackens chronicled the movement and exploits of U.S. troops from Tampa to Santiago. Almost none of his published drawings depicted Cuba's Liberation Army. This omission served U.S. imperial interests and is a hallmark of related works by artists like Winslow Homer and Frederic Remington as well as U.S. visual culture more broadly. Drawn largely from the Library of Congress's collection, these works offer insights into the persistent obfuscation of Cuba as wartime events were reenacted and recast across mediums. This event will be recorded.

Swann Fellows are scholars, in any field, working on caricature and cartoon. The award, up to $5,000 is open to MA students and PhD candidates and those within three years of earning their PhD at a university in North America – Mexico, Canada and the United States. The award is intended to support a mandatory two-week research period at the Library of Congress. For more information, go to: https://www.loc.gov/rr/print/swann/index.html (and yes, I need to update the page)
