Searing disputes over caricature have recently sparked flames
across the world"the culmination, not the beginning, of the story
of one of modernity's definitive artistic practices. Modern visual
satire erupts during a period marked by reform and revolution, by
cohering nationalisms and expanding empires, and by the emerging
discipline of art history. This has long been recognized as its
Golden Age. It is time to look anew. In The Efflorescence of
Caricature, 1759-1838, an international, interdisciplinary, and
intergenerational team of scholars reconfigures the geography of
modern visual satire, as the expansive narrative reaches from North
America to Europe, to China and the Ottoman Empire. Caricature's
specific visual cultures are also laid bare, its iconographic means
and material support, as well as the diverse milieu of its
making"the military, the art academy, diplomacy, politics, art
criticism, and popular entertainment. Some of its greatest
practitioners"James Gillray and Honore Daumier"are seen in a new
light, alongside some of their far flung and opportunistic
pastichers. Most trenchantly, assumptions about the consequences of
caricature's rise come under intense scrutiny, interrogated for its
cherished and long-vaunted civilizational claims on individual
character, artistic supremacy, political liberty, and global
domination.
