Synopsis: Patrick Oliphant was America’s most renowned and feared political cartoonist for five decades, bravely taking on presidents, popes and the corporate class with his mighty pen. With his biting humor and masterful drawing skills, he attacked individual and institutional corruption, collusion, greed, hypocrisy and arrogance, no matter the size or status. A Savage Art tells the story of Oliphant’s life and career through hundreds of his cartoons and archival interviews with Pat, his friends, family and colleagues.
A Savage Art outlines the history of political cartoons, showing how important and impactful political cartoonists have been throughout the ages, and how, in our current climate of political partisanship and corporate control of the media, political cartoonists like Oliphant are critical to checking the powers that be.
