Motto:
Arthur SZYK argued that the arts - it is not an end but a means
Back in 1934 during a visit to the U.S., he said:
"The artist, especially a Jewish artist, can not remain neutral to the important topics today.
He can not hide behind the still-lifes, abstractions and experiments.
Our life is involved in a terrible tragedy, and I decided to serve his people with all my skill, talent and knowledge"
Arthur SZYK was extremely opposed to Nazi rule, and spoke out against Hitler and his dislike for years before the war
Due to the dangers of criticizing Hitler, Szyk moved to England, where he was also censored to keep from offending Germany
Once the war began, however, things changed, and now his anti-Nazi work was in high demand
USA First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt called Szyk a "one-man army against Hitler''
His life: Arthur Szyk was born in 1894 in Lodz, then part of the former Russian Empire
At 15, his father sent him to Paris to study art
In 1912-1914 the Polish satirical magazine printed in its socio-critical cartoons
He continued his studies in Cracow, and in 1914 went to a student trip to Palestine
Probably, this trip had a great influence on the national
and cultural identity and to reflect on the Jewish state
Jewish stories and themes are constantly in his work
During the First World War and was drafted into the Russian army. He served in the German front,
and participated in the Battle of Lodz
In the 1919-1920-ies, during the Polish-Soviet War, Szyk was already on the other side : Poland
He was the artistic director of the Propaganda Department of the Polish Army in Lodz
during the war against the Soviet Union
In 1921, Szyk returned to Paris and for several years, illustrates the French book
While many of his fellow artists worked in the style of cubism, surrealism
and abstract art, preferring classic chic graphic art
His work is reminiscent of medieval miniatures and graphic Renaissance: historical stories,
complex composition, attention to detail, dynamic plastic figures,
careful work with color and its use of symbolic features enable to focus on the essentials
Szyk did the illustrations for historical documents (such as the Covenant of the League of Nations)
and the old books that were often associated with Jewish history
He participated in exhibitions in Europe and the USA
In 1937, Szyk moved to London.
A year later, when the Second World War, its political figures published in the London weekly newspaper
Here opens its second exhibition (and soon a third), and later his work shown at an exhibition in the United States
In 1940 he immigrated first to Canada and then in the U.S.
In 1943 his mother was killed
First she had to go into the ghetto in Lodz, and from there, probably in a concentration camp
"Perhaps" - because the date and circumstances of her death remained unknown
In the U.S. cartoons Szyk gain enormous popularity.
They regularly appear on the covers of leading U.S. magazines /"Collier's" and "Time"/
Szyk was a staff member «New York Post», and during the war, participated in more than 25 exhibitions
Later yaers: In 1948, the artist takes an American citizen
It covers the declaration and the state of Israel continues to engage in political subjects, in particular,
discrimination against black people of America
In 1951, the Commission on Un-American Activities launched an investigation into the Szyk:
his consistent struggle against fascism seemed a manifestation of communist ideas
Szyk has denied any involvement in the Communist organization, and a few months later he died of a heart attack
It turns out that even his death has continued illustrated on of the cruel and unjust turns in history
