Exhibit: Let the Games Begin: A Century of Sports Cartoons

January 15 - April 9, 2010 / Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum, The Ohio State University
More than 50 sports cartoons will be on display as part of the exhibition Let the Games Begin: A Century of Sports Cartoons. The exhibition features original drawings by some of the most prolific and influential cartoon artists of the past century and includes likenesses of a wide variety of sports figures including Jack Dempsey, Dizzy Dean, Ted Williams, Willie Shoemaker, as well Ohio State athletics. The cartoons featured in Let the Games Begin: A Century of Sports Cartoons span the twentieth century from a time when boxing and horse racing captured the nation's undivided attention to the end of the century and beyond, long after any remaining shreds of purity and innocence had been stripped from the public's collective perception of the athletes it followed and admired. Drawn from several of the Cartoon Library's collections, the works featured in this exhibit were published in newspapers from all over the United States. Artists featured in the exhibition include Willard Mullin, Arnold Roth, William Summers, Karl Hubenthal, the Columbus Dispatch's Jeff Stahler, and more. Let the Games Begin : A Century of Sports Cartoons is in conjunction with Hard Targets, an exhibition at the Wexner Center for the Arts from January 30 through April 11, 2010.
