Karen Schwarz started work on this cartoon when she read about the arguments for keeping the Parthenon sculptures in Britain. Karen visited the “Elgin Marbles” with her art history class during a semester in London in 1977.
"Our professor didn’t raise the issue of repatriation, and I was a clueless student. But now, I think that the folks who argue “they belong in Britain,” belong in a museum exhibit themselves." Comments Karen.
Karen Schwarz took up cartooning when her youngest child finished college and moved away. She has a small practice helping students with college admissions essays, and delivers groceries for a food pantry. She and her husband, an entertainment executive, live in Los Angeles.
