Book excerpt: What makes a joke funny? What makes a pun witty? What makes a political cartoon biting? Wit, humor, and satire have been deployed in the visual arts across time and cultures, as evidenced in the works presented in this exhibition. Prints, paintings, sculpture, photography, and more provide examples of how humor, wit, and satire function as tools to make us laugh, shine a light on society and human behaviors, and serve as mechanisms for survival. Though wit, humor, and satire take form across the arts, including literature, film, and music, they are also valued as complex approaches to making images.This book is a companion volume to the exhibition Wit, Humor, and Satire, an exhibition curated by Albuquerque Museum with works from the museum's collection.

Download or read book Humorous Depictions written by Lyn Clarke and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-14 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A good portion of these jokes and observations have been drawn from my own original experiences. Others have been gathered over many years and from many sources with their origins being lost in the mist of time. I have cataloged around three hundred thought provoking entries some of which are thinly veiled with double entendres and are not always as they first appear to be. If anyone recognizes a joke, which they consider their own, they should be extremely proud to be included in this distinctive collection. I realize that humor is a subjective language medium and so I hope that each reader will find at least some of these entries amusing. So sit back and enjoy and, by all means, share them with other people. It is said that variety is the spice of life and that laughing is one of the best remedies to cure all that ails us. Therefore, relax and drink in this lighthearted compilation as I'm sure you will feel all the better for doing so.
Download or read book Laughing at Architecture written by Michela Rosso and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a media-saturated world, humour stands out as a form of social communication that is especially effective in re-appropriating and questioning architectural and urban culture. Whether illuminating the ambivalences of metropolitan life or exposing the shock of modernisation, cartoons, caricature, and parody have long been potent agents of architectural criticism, protest and opposition. In a novel contribution to the field of architectural history, this book outlines a survey of visual and textual humour as applied to architecture, its artefacts and leading professionals. Employing a wide variety of visual and literary sources (prints, the illustrated press, advertisements, theatrical representations, cinema and TV), thirteen essays explore an array of historical subjects concerning the critical reception of projects, buildings and cities through the means of caricature and parody. Subjects range from 1750 to the present, and from Europe and the USA to contemporary China. From William Hogarth and George Cruikshank to Osbert Lancaster, Adolf Loos' satire, and Saul Steinberg's celebrated cartoons of New York City, graphic and descriptive humour is shown to be an enormously fruitful, yet largely unexplored terrain of investigation for the architectural and urban historian.
