Tom Toles is an editorial cartoonist for the Washington Post. He presented one of the five lectures I attended in Chautauqua’s historic Amphitheatre as part of a week long series of events focusing on the relationship of “Art and Politics.” Here Toles discusses his cartoon commenting on the January, 2015 terrorist attack that killed eleven people in the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical weekly newspaper. I used a wideangle lens from the Amphitheater’s front row, layering the image by using the pair of floral displays at the base of the podium to echo the speaker as he brings both of his arms up at once to make a point. Another layer, comprising three rectangular overhead screens showing the cartoon in question, as well the backdrop of three green rectangular panels, adds context for meaning.
