Calman meets Freud : Mel Calman

5 Feb-16 Mar 2014

Freud Museum London
London NW3 5SX

Overview

Mel Calman (1931–1994) was best known for his cartoons on the front pages of The Times and The Sunday Times for many years. He had a gift for the pointed comment, for using his lugubrious, large-nosed, little man to bring a human, small-scale perspective to a large-scale issue. Calman was also fascinated by psychiatry, depression, and various sub-species of anxiety and doubt, as ever at his funniest on the darker side of life. Calman meets Freud will be a unique retrospective focusing on this most original – and entertaining - aspect of his work. The exhibition is curated by his daughters, writer and broadcaster Stephanie Calman, and novelist Claire Calman.
