An Age for Caricature: Cruickshank, Daumier, and Mass Print Culture in 19th Century London and Paris
Faculty Sponsor: Mary Gluck
Alexander examined caricatures within the burgeoning print culture of 19th Century Paris and London. He focused on two prominent artists in the genre, Henri Daumier and George Cruickshank, to study the historic context of their creative dissent.
Alex finished his Ph.D. at UCLA in 2014. His dissertation is entitled "Imprinting Modern Liberalism: Empire, Financial Capitalism, and The Economist, 1843-1938" and he is working to turn it into a book. In 2011 He received a UC-CUBA Academic Initiative Award to conduct research in Cuba.
