EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking cartoon print titled "CARTOON: BIRTH CONTROL. The Poets Plaint I don't seem to be able to create anything!" by Donald McKee captures the essence of a societal concern prevalent in early 20th century America. Created in 1912, this artwork delves into the theme of birth control and its impact on creativity. The image portrays a boy and girl standing side by side, representing the potential for creation through procreation. However, their faces are filled with uncertainty and despair as they question their ability to bring forth something that will truly endure. This sentiment is further emphasized by the poet's plaintive statement expressing his inability to create anything that will live. McKee's illustration raises questions about the role of birth control in stifling or liberating creative expression during a time when discussions surrounding contraception were highly controversial. It invites viewers to ponder whether limiting reproduction would hinder or enhance artistic endeavors. As an American artist, McKee skillfully uses visual symbolism and subtle commentary to address complex social issues of his era. This print serves as a reminder of how art can serve as a powerful tool for reflecting upon societal concerns while challenging conventional norms.
