    Ronald Searle has been called one of the greatest satirical cartoonists of the 20th century. Best known in England for his wildly popular St. Trinian’s cartoons featuring a fictional English girls’ school, and his work here in the States for publications such as The New York Times, Life and The New Yorker, there is no doubt you have seen and admired his work.

    The exhibition is from the Collection of Robert and Lydia Forbes and includes a wide breadth of works starting in the 1940s through his death in 2011.
