Product Detail

Name:	Art and Politics of Arthur Szyk
Product Code:	9780896047082
Description:	By Dr. Steve Luckert, curator
Product Detail:	Published to accompany the Museum's special exhibition, this intriguing volume includes vivid, full color reproductions drawn from private and public collectors around the world, historical photographs, and detailed text. Arthur Szyk's remarkable personal and artistic journey is examined, as is his development as a gifted illustrator, extraordinary caricaturist, commercial artist, Jewish patriot, and crusader. The 100 illustrations in the book of Szyk's paintings, illuminations, prints, line drawings, lithographs, posters, magazine covers, and stamps, are vibrantly displayed. Skilled in miniature painting, Szyk redirected his artistry during World War II into political cartoons that unmasked the face of the Nazi enemy and mobilized popular opinion. His caricatures became daily fare in newspapers and magazines. In the 1940s, Szyk's war-driven cartoons were published in Esquire, Colliers, Look, Liberty, Time, and the Saturday Review of Literature.
