GEORGE  MOLNAR -  CARTOONIST,  ARTIST AND SOCIAL  COMMENTATOR  EXTRAORDINAIRE

Heritage consultant, and director of Heritage Solutions, Andrew Conacher, will illustrate the life and influence of Sydney-based cartoonist and professor of architecture, George Molnar, setting his work in its context with his contemporaries as well as with modern cartoon artists.. Molnar's cartoons appeared in the Daily Telegraph from 1954 to 1964 and later in the Sydney Morning Herald. He was also a talented artist and a lecturer in architecture. Many of Molnar's cartoons remain relevant comments on Australian society today. Sydney in the 1950s faced the same problems as Wollongong does today - traffic, parking, high rise and planning confusion.
