b. United States, 1901 - 1990
Fritz Eichenberg was a German-American illustrator and arts educator who worked primarily in wood engraving. His best-known works were concerned with religion, social justice and nonviolence. Eichenberg was born to a Jewish family in Cologne, Germany, where the destruction of World War I helped to shape his anti-war sentiments. In 1923 he moved to Berlin to begin his career as an artist, producing illustrations for books and newspapers. In his newspaper and magazine work, Eichenberg was politically outspoken and sometimes both wrote and illustrated his own reporting. In 1933, the rise of Adolf Hitler convinced Eichenberg, a public critic of the Nazis, to emigrate with his wife and children to the United States, where he settled in New York City for most of the remainder of his life. He taught art at the New School for Social Research and at Pratt Institute and was part of the Works Progress Administration's Federal Arts Project. In his prolific career as a book illustrator, Eichenberg worked with many forms of literature but specialized in material with elements of extreme spiritual and emotional conflict, fantasy, or social satire, illustrating such authors as include Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Charlotte and Emily Brontë, Poe, Swift, and Grimmelshausen. He also wrote and illustrated books of folklore and children's stories. Though he remained a Quaker until his death, Eichenberg was also associated with Catholic charity work through his friendship with Dorothy Day—whom he met at a Quaker conference on religion and publishing in 1949—and frequently contributed illustrations to Day's newspaper the Catholic Worker until he died in 1990.

<em>Business Men's Baths</em>
Lithograph
22 x 26" MATTED
In Business Men’s Baths (1923) George Bellows depicts a group of men in an athletic club splashing around a pool and toweling themselves off. In a tradition that went back to Thomas Eakins, such scenes were the only acceptable way artists could depict the naked male body, an object otherwise unexposed in polite American society. Eakins had glorified that body as a modern incarnation of ancient Greek ideals. Bellows, instead, satirically exposes the modern reality of men’s bodies. Some are skinny, some are fat, some are old and bald; only a very few are beautiful. Businessmen were the new warriors of American society in the 1920s, responsible for American world-wide economic domination and the wealth which made life so pleasant; Bellows shows us what businessmen looked like stripped of this spurious glamour.

<em>The Bellow's Class</em>
Drypoint
13 x 15" MATTED
Artist Peggy Bacon recalls her instructor realist painter George Bellows, "Everyone liked him but I was an exception…he was such a boastful man. It was always big I, little you...But he was forceful and he did sort of jolt a lot of people into doing a little bit better than they might have done…I remember I did a drypoint of the Bellows class with Bellows in the middle and I made prints of it. He said, 'Who did this? That's wonderful. That's really fine. That's the best thing that's been done in this class all year.’" Drypoint involves pressing a drawn line into a metal plate. The incised mark holds the ink which is then transferred to the paper. Bacon achieved a particularly crisp line by reducing the ridge, or burr, along the mark. "I love drypoint…that wonderful feeling that you have for the material and the real strength that you have to employ to get the line the right depth and richness and to do the cross-hatching so that the metal doesn't break down but still you get a rich black. I trained myself to hold the needle upright so…that you don't raise a big burr on one side and none on the other, then the plate doesn't wear down, you see. And I have had enormous editions considering." Oral history interview with Peggy Bacon, 1973 May 8, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution
