The Ridiculous and the Sublime |
|
| Authors: | Ben Nicholson |
| Abstract: | Ben Nicholson 's classic satire The World Who Wants It? was written at the beginning of this decade in the wake of 9/11. Here Nicholson revisits the work, presenting new drawings and rethinking the themes in light of the second major hit that the world has taken with the banking crisis of 2008 and the accompanying economic downturn.
