And…on the podcast, Moxie By Proxie, Sarah Getz, the daughter of the all-time leader in New Yorker covers, (numbers-wise), Arthur Getz. Some really interesting insights into the great cover artist. Listen here.
The Spill‘s Arthur Getz A-Z entry:
Arthur Getz Born, Passaic, New Jersey, 1913; died, 1996. New Yorker work: 1938 -1988. Primarily a cover artist, he had one cartoon published: March 15, 1958. (You might say his career was a mirror image of George Price’s, who was one of the most prolific cartoonists, with over 1200 published, and one cover). According to the official Getz website, he was the most prolific of all New Yorker cover artists, having 213 appear during the fifty years he contributed to the magazine. The official Getz website, containing his biography: www.getzart.com/.
