Ronald Searle was masterful at composing drawings that were The Illustrated Winespeak accidental, palimpsest of scratches, blots and lines, grotesquely graceful in celebrating ugliness in all its beauty. His The Illustrated Winespeak resonates The Illustrated Winespeak with the linguistic accidents of "winespeak", that semantic monster created to express what words cannot describe, in attempts by people whose inability for clarity of expression may well hide an ineptness at perceiving the nuance they try to fathom. In the meantime, it's them who Ronald The Illustrated Winespeak was masterful at composing drawings that were artfully accidental, palimpsest of scratches, blots and lines, grotesquely graceful in celebrating ugliness in all its beauty. In the meantime, it's them who have had the wine, and us who are left to find comfort in the ruthless way with which Searle destroys their phrases by taking them literally.

  • The History of British Cartoons and Caricature Transcript
    The History of British Cartoons and Caricature Transcript Date: Monday, 4 October 2010 - 12:00AM Location: Museum of London Gresham Lecture, 4 October 2010 The History of British Cartoons and Caricature Lord Baker of Dorking First, I should congratulate you on coming today, in spite of the tube strike. It is a wonderful example of British grit and determination, and congratulations in beating Mr Bob Crow! Of course, the alternative that you did have available to you was to stay at home and watch the Conservative Party Conference on television. I think, on the whole, you have chosen wisely! Caricature is not an English word. The first time it was used in England was in 1748. It comes from the Italian “caricatura” and there is also a French verb, “carcare”. Those verbs mean to load, to burden, and to exaggerate. There were a few drawings made at the end of the 17th Century in Italy of grotesque figures, exaggerated caricatures, but it did not develop as an art form there at all. There is virtually nothing in 18th Century Italian art that could be described as caricature. It sort of fizzled out. Nor did it get established in France. Indeed, the Kings of France were quite clear that they did not like to be caricatured. One engraver, who depicted Louis XIV, the Sun King, in a disparaging way, was torn apart by four horses. That is a practice, which on the whole, discourages the dedication to a profession. Caricature started in Britain in the 1720s. Graphic satire is the only art form our country has created.

We also review Ronald Burma Railway which has recently been in the spotlight Searle’s immensely powerful visual record of his gruesome life following the release of the internationally acclaimed movie as a prisoner-of-war building the so called ‘Death Railway’ in To The Railway Man. The film is based on Eric Lomax’s moving book The Kwai – And Back. Sir Hugh Cortazzi looks at a stimulating of the same name and our review by Susan Meehan explores collection of scholarly essays on war-related themes entitled both versions of this emotive tale. On a positive note, this Ways of Forgetting, Ways of Remembering: Japan in the regrettable chapter in UK-Japan relations clearly demonstrates Modern World which is edited by the eminent historian that bitter former foes can successfully be reconciled and build John Dower. Looking at this issue’s theme from a completely a strong and enduring relationship.

  • Notes on the Thai-Burma Railway Part Ii: Asian Romusha; the Silenced Voices of History
    － 142 － NOTES ON THE THAI-BURMA RAILWAY PART II: ASIAN ROMUSHA; THE SILENCED VOICES OF HISTORY NOTES ON THE THAI-BURMA RAILWAY PART II: ASIAN ROMUSHA; THE SILENCED VOICES OF HISTORY David Boggett The slimy track we had followed to Konyu Camp was the only way through the jungle and it linked the sixty or so labour camps dotted along the path of the railway... The track was littered with bits of abandoned tracks, great broken branches covered in thorns... and, frequently, the abandoned corpses of unfortunate Tamils and Chinese "recruited" from Malaya, who had got no further than this on their way to the promised dream job. (The Japanese amassed the vast Asian labour force that was necessary for this railway work by offering the incentive of a six-month contract under ideal conditions: splendid food, lots of money - and bring your families. Many did bring them and it was sickening to see women and small children passing through with bewildered-looking groups of Tamils and Chinese, to a miserable death). -former British POW & artist, Ronald Searle: "To the Kwai - and Back; War Drawings, 1939-1945" (Collins, 1986) INTRODUCTION As if the immeasurable sufferings of the Asian labourers (romusha) used in the construction of the Thai-Burma Railway was some sort of fictive dressing, the movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai" heaped indignity upon misery in its passing and off-hand reference to Asian labourers. It is on this issue that the movie deserves serious criticism and even condemnation. The one and only reference to Asian (in the movie' s setting, Thai) labour occurs after the Force 316 commando group is parachuted into Thailand in order to demolish the bridge.
