Arthur Szyk, 1894 to 1951, was a Polish artist who worked primarily as a book illustrator and political artist throughout his career. He gained broad popularity in the United States primarily through his political caricatures, in which, after the outbreak of World War II, he savaged the policies and personalities of the leaders of the Axis powers. After the war, he also devoted himself to Zionist political issues, especially the support of the creation of the state of Israel.
