Art Spiegelman: Disaster is my Muse

Milwaukee Film Festival

Dive into the life and work of venerated comix artist Art Spiegelman, from his early days inspired by the irreverence of MAD Magazine to his seminal MAUS, a personal exploration of generational trauma during and after the Holocaust. Now in his late 70s, his work has turned to anti-fascist and anti-censorship activism, no less strident about the truths and values of art and life.

Guests are expected for a Q&A following the screening on April 27.
