# "Art Lovers" - Judge Magazine Cartoon This sketch by James Britton depicts what appears to be a bohemian or artistic gathering in an attic studio space. The title "Art Lovers" suggests satire of the art world or pretentious artistic circles popular in early-to-mid 20th century America. The crowded, somewhat chaotic scene—with figures in various poses around the space, artwork on walls, and casual furnishings—likely mocks either: - Struggling artists and their cramped living conditions - Pretentious art enthusiasts gathering in bohemian spaces - The bohemian lifestyle itself The sketch's loose, energetic line work emphasizes the informal, cluttered nature of the scene. Without additional context, the specific target of satire remains unclear, though it comments on artistic or bohemian culture as Judge's readership would have understood it.
