RE: Extra Credit Questions
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? Bill Nash |
