What A Face I Have! The Art of Lenn Redman celebrates the renowned caricature artist and humanitarian, highlighting both his witty portrayals of famous figures and his visionary 1970s lithographic series What Am I? The caricatures on view were selected by the artist’s son, Mark Redman, while the What Am I? installation was conceptualized and curated by UNG student Olivia Tinsley, under the mentorship of Dr. Ana Pozzi Harris. Drawing on materials from the Lenn Redman archive, Tinsley’s research connects the artist’s work to the cultural and social landscape of Los Angeles in the 1970s.

​

Lenn Redman (1912–1987) was an American artist, animator, and civil rights advocate. He created over 200,000 caricatures, worked on classic animations like Fantasia, and authored What Am I?, a poetic series promoting human multiplicity. Redman also taught at The Art Institute of Chicago and wrote the influential book How to Draw Caricatures.
