Churchill in Cartoons: Satirising a Statesman

Location
Imperial War Museum
Lambeth Road
London
SE1 6HZ
Description
This exhibition runs from Friday 29th November 2024 to Sunday 23rd February 2025.
Churchill once wrote, ‘I always loved cartoons’, but complained that cartoonists ‘have great power indeed.’
This exhibition marks 150 years since Winston Churchill’s birth, uncovering how satirical cartoons influenced public perception during Churchill’s lifetime, and how they shape our understanding of his role in history today.
Churchill consciously created his own distinctive image. This included his ever-present cigar and wartime ‘V’ sign. These visual props, along with his high-profile and often controversial political career, made him a cartoonist’s dream.
You’ll find cartoons spanning Churchill's long career in the public eye, from his early years as a young politician to his time as Britain's wartime Prime Minister, and more recent examples of his image being used to draw parallels with modern day politicians. Created by artists from around the globe, this collection of cartoons offers international perspectives on Churchill’s political career and legacy, both celebratory and condemning.
