Arthur Szyk.
|
Polish-born Jewish artist Arthur Szyk crafted book illustrations and illuminations imbued with rich detail, artistic genius, and personal fervor. From the religious to the secular and the political, Arthur Szyk's works reveal the sensitivity and passion of a man committed to justice and to humanity. This bibliography was compiled by the Museum's Library to document the range of Szyk's artistry, and to guide the reader to books by and about Szyk and other political cartoonists. It lists his original works; books he illustrated; exhibitions, catalogs, and collections of his art; sources for news and commentary about Szyk; and studies of other World War II-era political cartoons and caricatures.

Dr. Seuss Goes to War: The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel
by Richard H. Minear
Before Dr. Seuss was Dr. Seuss, he was Theodor Giesel, and before he achieved tremendous fame for his unconventional children's books, he drew unconventional political cartoons for PM, a left-wing daily newspaper in New York. Minear's book, Dr. Seuss Goes to War, returns these cartoons, representing a little-known period in the creative life of Dr. Seuss, to the attention of an American public who knows him only for the Cat in the Hat and the Whos of Who-ville.
