America and the World, Editorial Page Caricatures

21 June 2006

The United States Embassy in Warsaw, the honorary patron of the “America and the World” exhibition, invites you to "America & The World, 1980-2006: Editorial Art from INX Group, USA, which opens the 26th of June, 2006 at 6:00 p.m. at the Museum of Caricature and Cartoon Art, 11 Kozia Str., Warsaw.

The exhibit was the brainchild of Polish cartoonist Janusz Kapusta, a member of INX, and presents 250 highly opinionated editorial page drawings by more than 50 illustrators on various topics: from Ronald Reagan's presidency to today's war on terrorism, gas prices to global warming.

INX (a play on “inks”) group was founded in the U.S. in 1980 by 12 political cartoonists trying to produce and sell uncensored political images. In 2002 the group decided to link with the United Features Syndicate. Newspapers and other publications download cartoons they wish to use. Their clients include the Boston Globe, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Seattle Times, and the Washington Post. INX artists whose works will be in the Warsaw show include Felipe Galindo, Horacio Cardo, Yvonne Buchanan, Thomas Kerr David Klein and others.
