Study Up For 'Think:' Cutting Deep, Without Words

Ralph Steadman

The Nation publisher emeritus Victor Navasky's new book is The Art of Controversy: Political Cartoons and Their Enduring Power. See 7 of his favorite single panels before Think host Krys Boyd talks with him at 1 p.m.

Honoré Daumier's caricature of King Louis Philippe as Gargantua in 1830 sent the artist to prison. Self-deemed gonzo artist Ralph Steadman once said "caricature is a form of assassination," and his portrait of a shivering Richard Nixon in 1974 also makes Navasky's list for the Daily Beast. See what's in the author's quiver of satire throughout history here.

Listen to Think from noon to 2 p.m., Monday through Thursday, on KERA 90.1. You can stream the show at kera.org.
