Curator’s notes
by
Damien Parer
With its use of timeless artwork, and its creative use of animation, this amusing and thoughtful documentary is a good starter for students of art. It is also useful for showing how art comments on politics.
Bruce Petty is primarily a leading political cartoonist, but he has also produced an impressive body of satirical animated documentaries, including Australian History, Marx, the Academy Award-winning Leisure, Money, This Mad Century and Human Contraptions.
