Product Description

Product Description
By tweaking accepted conventions through visual humour - whimsy, wit, irony, parody, satire, and nonsense - artists challenge us to view the world from a different standpoint. In Artful Jesters, Nicholas Roukes provides an historical perspective on the perpetual use of humour in art, showcasing 50 highly creative contemporary artists whose mission is to amuse, entertain and inform while at the same time advocating for serious causes.
