The
Editorialcartoons.net Version Three Archive contains 566
images on a wide variey of contemporary issues and offers
perspectives into the current political, social and
economic Global landscape.
The
compiled images in the Historical indice are displayed for
Educational purposes only and are meant to shed light on
past techniques and methods used to record political and
social events. The printed material hopefully establishes
some background on the genesis of this art-form, whether
created initially as agit-prop, illustrative literature,
broadsheet opinion or as historical recording.
Many
of the Books in the Historical indice are no longer in
print, however, many may still be found by doing a rare
and and out-of-print book search.
Other
imagery archives available are catergorised by Region and
Topic, the primary and most extensive categories are
listed by region and include contemporary opinion images
from Asia, Europe, Russia-CIS, the Middle East and the
Americas. These
new archives are a compilation of submitted and shared
imagery which have been previously displayed at
Editorialcartoons.net between 1999 and 2002. The images
originate from numerous contemporary opinion creators at
work today, both in print and in the new internet medium.
Many
avenues have now been opened for visual opinion
illustrators challenging the concepts of what information
is and how it can be recorded, interpreted and
distributed. In the New Millenium, a new and exciting
Medium has now passed through it's initial stages of
infancy and is fast approaching Maturity. Notions of
Borders, Nationality, Power and Political structures are
being challenged...and rightly so.
The
Version Three Design hopefully offers an easier
environment for viewing these contemporary visual opinions
as well as establishing a permanent independent platform
and arena for this artform
