NEW YORK, N.Y.- Infinite Jest: Caricature and Satire from Leonardo to Levine, on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art September 13, 2011, through March 4, 2012, explores humorous imagery from the Italian Renaissance to the present. Consisting mostly of works from the Metropolitan Museum’s rich collection in its Department of Drawings and Prints, the exhibition includes sheets by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Eugène Delacroix, Francisco de Goya, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Enrique Chagoya alongside works by artists more often associated with visual humor, such as James Gillray, Thomas Rowlandson, Honoré Daumier, Al Hirschfeld, and David Levine. Many of these engaging caricatures and satires have never been exhibited and are little known except to specialists. The exhibition’s title, Infinite Jest, derives from Hamlet. Shakespeare’s play is quoted in a Civil War print from the 1864 presidential campaign
