Norman Rockwell Museum Presents An Evening with Artist Steve Brodner - July 14, 2008
STOCKBRIDGE - Norman Rockwell Museum will present "The Naked Campaign: An Evening with Steve Brodner" on Thursday, July 17, starting at 5:30 p.m. One of today's most prominent satirical illustrators, Mr. Brodner has created caricatures of noted popular and political figures for nearly every major American publication, and his work is currently on view in the Museum's exhibition "Raw Nerve! The Political Art of Steve Brodner."
The artist will speak about his intensive involvement in the 2008 Presidential process and offer wry, humorous observations on the candidates and their campaigns-from primary season to the political conventions. Steve Brodner's drawings and videos for "The Naked Campaign" appear weekly in "The New Yorker" and on the Internet. The event is free with regular Museum admission.
