Artunes

In this unique collection of cartoons, artist Pablo Helguera turns his attention to the classical music world, offering a respite from the formality of concerts and the foibles of performers and audiences alike. Whether you are a specialist or an aficionado, Artunes will bring you great laughs, all while being a loving celebration of classical music. "(...) I think of Helguera as a court jester, holding up a mirror to those self-appointed guardians of classical music, sketching out in humor what we're sometimes afraid to verbalize, while exploding myths and sweeping away fusty traditions (...) while Helguera's "artunes" elicit laughs, they also convince me of the continued resiliency of symphonies and operas, sonatas and songs - and the men and women who create and recreate them." -Tom Huizenga, from the Foreword "You will cry, even howl, with laughter." -Flash Art "Inimitable." -The Art Newspaper, London
