What famous artist whose works included one of Abraham Lincoln was chewed out by General Patton for his realistic portrayals?

Eva: thanks for posting the pic!
Have you been trying to figure out the answer to my other question?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-29-2016 05:46 AM

I have no idea, Bill. Wild guess - Lloyd Ostendorf?

Sorry, forgot to add - yes, but I am clueless (and would need to cheat, or a hint...)

RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 04-29-2016 05:51 AM

Roger and Eva: must be harder than I figured. Hint: his famous Lincoln drawing is called Weeping Lincoln.

Bill Mauldin?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 04-29-2016 06:28 AM

Absolutely!
The artist is Bill Mauldin. He served in World War Two. While in the war, he sketched cartoons depicting Army life. Patton chewed him out for his realistic portrayals- but Eisenhower ordered Patton to stand down. During his career Mauldin won two Pulitzer Prizes for his work. Then in 1963, President Kennedy was assassinated. Mauldin was so affected by the tragedy- along with our nation-that he created Weeping Lincoln. It was such a sad time- and Mauldin perfectly captured the mood...

Roger: can you post a picture of it?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-29-2016 07:37 AM

Yes - here it is:

Wonderful! Such a sad moment depicted!

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 04-29-2016 07:55 AM

I agree (again) - thanks, Bill, I have seen this drawing before but didn't know anything about its background!

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Miss_Bellatrix - 04-29-2016 05:24 PM

I've never seen this drawing before. What a powerful image! Wow! Thanks for posting it, Roger.

This from Wikipedia about Bill Mauldin.

William Henry "Bill" Mauldin (/ˈmɔːldən/; October 29, 1921 – January 22, 2003) was an American editorial cartoonist who won two Pulitzer Prizes for his work. He was most famous for his World War II cartoons depicting American soldiers, as represented by the archetypal characters Willie and Joe, two weary and bedraggled infantry troopers who stoically endure the difficulties and dangers of duty in the field. These cartoons were widely published and distributed in the American army, abroad and in the United States.

I have this book, 'Up Front' and highly recommend it.

Here is a sample of his work, some are from the book I mentioned.

Mauldin was wounded in battle in war. He also made the cover of Time magazine years later.

This statue of Abraham Lincoln is not in the United States. In what country is it located?
