Subasta Bidspirit | Arthur Szyk - four political

Arthur Szyk - four political satire posters (prints): 1. ”The Map Maker” 2. ”December 7, 1941” 3. ”The New Orderlies” 4. ”Il Duce....” All have art prints on reverse side. All four are in good condition. Around the edges is some discoloration and ”The Map Maker” is slightly more discolored than the others with some wear and tear around the edges. A befitting Szyk's work, the prints display an incredible attention to both vibrant color and intricate detail. Arthur Szyk was commissioned by Esquire magazine in 1942 to create political satirical caricatures. Szyk, a Polish Jew, was strongly opposed to Hitler and his regime, and the Axis powers, and he expressed his beliefs and political opinions via his art. Szyk was often referred to as a ”soldier in art” and a ”one man army”, for his brave and direct, outspoken political and social opinions through his medium. All four prints have artist's signature but they part of the print.
