QR code
"The Confessions of a Caricaturist, Vol. 2" by Harry Furniss is a collection of humorous autobiographical sketches, likely written in the late 19th to early 20th century. This volume continues Furniss's clever observations and caricatures of society, art, and personal experiences, specifically focusing on his audacious critique of the art world through the creation of an exhibition he dubbed "An Artistic Joke." As he navigates the complexities of fame and artistic expression,
readers can expect a mix of humor and poignant commentary on the state of art and society during that era. The opening of the book introduces the ambitious concept behind Furniss's "artistic joke," showcasing his meticulous parody of the Royal Academy Exhibition. He recounts the inception of this project, inspired by his disbelief at the mediocrity of certain artworks, leading him to create a satirical exhibition that parodied the styles and techniques of various artists. Furniss describes the secretive process of executing this grand task over three years, the remarkable reception from the public, and the various humorous incidents that ensue during its unveiling; he sets the stage for a narrative that combines sharp wit with a reflective outlook on the art world he occupies.
