It Makes Him Sick
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating color lithograph on newsprint created by Joseph Keppler and published in Puck magazine on August 18,1880. This satirical artwork from the 19th century offers a humorous depiction of James A. Garfield, the President of the United States at that time. In this caricature, we see Garfield portrayed as a man suffering from illness due to political pressures. The artist skillfully captures the essence of his subject's distress through exaggerated facial expressions and body language. With its clever wit and sharp commentary, Keppler's work serves as both a parody and critique of American politics during this period. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph add depth to the composition while highlighting the artist's mastery of his craft. As an antique piece of art, it provides us with valuable insights into historical events and cultural attitudes prevalent in late 19th-century America. This print now finds its place within the Art Institute Chicago's collection, where it continues to captivate visitors with its unique blend of humor and social commentary. It stands as a testament to Keppler's artistic talent and his ability to capture significant moments in history through visual storytelling. As we observe "It Makes Him Sick" we are reminded not only of our nation's rich heritage but also how political satire has long been an integral part of American culture. Through art like this, we gain new perspectives on past leaders while reflecting upon our own contemporary political landscape
