Kevin Kallaugher, a.k.a “KAL” will have a new exhibit at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore MD. The exhibit, called “Mightier than the Sword” will feature more than 200 of his cartoons from the Baltimore Sun and Economist and include caricatures, sculptures and animation. The exhibit runs June 18 through September 3rd.
As a great practitioner of the cartooning craft, KAL is one of the most influential political commentators in the United States today. This exhibition will include the cartoons and caricatures for which he is renowned as well as some lesser-known works. It will feature cartoons illustrating local, national and international political satire and cover a broad range of social issues to which he is committed. Additionally, an interactive educational section of the exhibition will allow the public to learn about caricature and cartoon development as well as participate in the creative process.
KAL took a buyout last fall from the Sun and is now a artist-in-residence at the UMBC imaging center.
