Patrick Oliphant was a giant slayer. In addition to being a fearless stunt pilot, executing
dangerous maneuvers just to blow off a little steam, he bravely took on presidents, popes
and the American corporate class with his mighty pen. An Australian transplant, Oliphant
was America’s most renowned and feared political cartoonist for five decades. With his
biting wit and masterful drawing skills he attacked individual and institutional corruption,
collusion, greed, hypocrisy and arrogance, no matter the size or status of his enemies.
A Savage Art is the story of Oliphant’s life and celebrated career, told in interviews with
Pat, his family, friends and colleagues, in archival footage, and featuring hundreds of his
cartoons.
A Savage Art also outlines the history of political cartoons, showing how important and
impactful political cartoonists have been throughout the ages, and how, in our current
climate of political partisanship and corporate control of the media, political cartoonists
like Oliphant are critical to checking the powers that be.
