Through March 19. The Center for Visual Art is one of Denver’s most important contemporary spaces with consistently interesting shows of living artists. But it is now trying something different, presenting some very old drawings that still have a contemporary edge. The display of James Gillray‘s political cartoons, circa 1800, show that social problems are cyclical. The same things he satired then are worthy of a few jabs today. The work is colorful, comical and revealing. Three current illustrators, reflecting Gillray’s attitude, are also featured: Molly Crabapple, Chris Dacre and Deb Sokolow.
