There is now an online version of the exhibit "Arthur Szyk: Artist for
Freedom," which is currently on display in the Swann Gallery (until May 6,
2000). As always, the online exhibit will be available indefinitely on the
Library's Web site. The URL is:

Arthur Szyk (1894 - 1951) was one America's leading political artists
during World War II, when he produced hundreds of anti-Axis illustrations
and cartoons in aid of the Allied war effort. Throughout his career he
created art in the service of human rights and civil liberties -- in his
native Poland, in Paris where he was trained during the 1920s, and in
America, the country he adopted in 1940.

"Life of the People: Realist Prints & Drawings from the Ben & Beatrice
Goldstein Collection" is now online at:
http://lcweb.loc.gov/exhibits/goldstein/
Labor advocate and garment manufacturer Ben Goldstein, with the support of
his wife Beatrice, left to The Library of Congress -- and the nation -- a
collection of American prints and drawings informed by a sympathy for the
condition of working people.
