03 Aug 17 - 10:12 PM (#3869800) Subject: Political cartoons - Art Young From: Thomas Stern I've posted this to the main board, won't be offended if the elves move it to BS. But since much of the loved music of the folk revival was political singer-songwriter, thought this may be of general interest. I hope the name ART YOUNG is known to many mudcaters. His political cartoons for THE MASSES (if you've seen the movie REDS you will be aware of this magazine of literary and social importance published 1911-1918, whose adherents included TEN DAYS THAT SHOOK THE WORLD reporter John Reed, and other labor agitators, socialists, poets et.al.) are among the greatest of the genre - a forerunner of HERBLOCK, RON COBB, and others. FANTAGRAPHIS has just published a magnificently illustrated book about Art Young: TO LAUGH THAT WE MAY NOT WEEP - The Life & Times of Art Young. To Laugh that we may not Weep http://www.fantagraphics.com/artofartyoung/ Young published two auto-biographies, which are delightful to read: Horace Liveright, New York, 1928 ON MY WAY Sheridan House, New York 1939: HIS LIFE AND TIMES readily available on the secondary market. Other of his published work: 1894 Hell Up to Date 1897 Author's Readings 1901 Through Hell with Hiprah Hunt (DOVER reprint 2016) 1927 Trees at Night 1930 Socialist Primer 1934 Art Young's Inferno: A Journey Through Hell Six Hundred Years After Dante. 1936 The Best of Art Young. Introduction by Heywood Broun. much information and examples of his work will be found through google, and in Wikipedia. Cheers, Thomas. |

There's supposed to be interesting stuff to talk about there, too. A Google Image Search (click) brings up a lot of interesting examples of his work, and some of it looks familiar. He has a very distinctive style of art. Thanks for introducing him to me. -Joe- |

He is approachable and may even send you an unpublished sample. He is an incomparable genius. In a while my cartoons going back to Reagan will be searchable. In the meantime I'm obeying publisher rules by keeping the lid on original work. I am a comparable nerd. |

Untrue! However Trump is strong on crime, his own!" UK Headlines: Paul Golding signs Trump Treaty while only symbolic the Washington Accord... cartoon ideas for the ages, come only rarely. |
