Musical Ink!

About

A first for the Cartoon Museum as it hosts a musical performance of compositions by Barbara de Biasi inspired by the cartoons of H. M. Bateman and Martin Rowson and performed on flute, viola, harp and tuba. Musical Ink began with me visiting the Cartoon Museum and diving into H. M. Bateman's wonderful exhibition. As soon as I saw Rinking Types and Time Flies I heard music playing in my head. I then went upstairs and found Martin Rowson's beautiful Gulliver, all tied up by thses hundreds of little people, witty and satirical in its intent, and also immensely creative and beautiful to experience. Cartooning in general, and Bateman's and Rowson's in particular, is a very musical Art, in my opinion
