Here’s a great photo of three New Yorker contributors known widely for their work outside of the New Yorker. From left to right: Peter Kuper, Jules Feiffer, and Art Spiegelman. All three were at the Queens Museum taking a look at “Bearing Witness”, an exhibit of William Gropper‘s work. Mr. Gropper was a New Yorker cartoonist also known for his work outside of the magazine.

Ink Spill’s entry on its A-Z for Mr. Gropper:
William Gropper 
(Self portrait, above from The Business of Cartooning, 1939) Born, December 3, 1897, NYC. Died, January 6, 1977, Manhasset, NY. 1 drawing, April 11, 1942. Quote:”I owe a great deal to the east side of New York. I was hit on the head with a rock in a gangfight…that’s how I became an artist.” [Quote from catalogue, Meet the Artist, 1943]. For a brief bio of Gropper “the workingman’s protector” visit: http://specialcollections.wichita.edu/
This was a fascinating and magnificent exhibition. William Gropper’s drawings are unforgettable. They cut to the reality of life then and now. I’m so glad my husband and I were able to see his work.
A significant exhibition and worthy of a visit. The exhibition doves tails nicely into current events, as well as displaying the artworks of a great American Art, William Gropper.
Look forward to seeing the William Gropper exhibition, one which is long overdue
