Comics Unstripped

Comics Unstripped

Aug. 31—Oct. 21, 2018 Drawing from a collection of vintage American comic art, Comics Unstripped joins the burgeoning wave of scholarly introspection on this previously overlooked mass medium. Incorporating research from a spring 2018 course on comic art, the exhibition not only examines the historical development of comics as an art form, but also explores comics as visual communication. Comics Unstripped investigates the comic art medium, in its variety and multiplicity, as a critical aspect of the historical, cultural, and artistic record of the United States from 1890 to the present.
