Exhibition: Ulterior motive: the cartoons of Jim Crane

Through simple statements, and intricate black-and-white line drawings, Jim Crane comments on theology, ecology, politics and the human condition. His cartoons, created in the 1950s and 1960s seem even more relevant today. Crane’s cartoons were published in theological magazines including, motive (a magazine of the Methodist Student Movement), Ave Maria (a Catholic family magazine), and United Church Herald.

This July 2014 display was put together by Archivist and Preservation Librarian Kara Jackman.

The following photographs show the exhibition in the School of Theology Library’s Reading Room, as well as photographs of Dr. Dana Robert and Ada Focer at the reception held for the exhibition in 2014.
