DESCRIPTION:Arthur Szyk (1894 –1951) Polish-born graphic artist\, book illu
 strator\, caricaturist and stage designer. Born in Łódź\, he lived and wor
 ked mainly in France\, Poland and United Kingdom\, finally settling perman
 ently in the United States in 1940. Wherever he lived and worked\, Szyk al
 ways regarded himself both as a Pole and a Jew.\nBest known for his World 
 War II anti-Nazi political art and widely beloved masterpieces: Passover H
 aggadah\, and Statute of Kalisz\, Szyk revived the medieval tradition of t
 he art of illumination.\nA master of miniature painting and calligraphy\, 
 Szyk brought his unmistakable style to subjects as diverse as biblical sto
 ries\, literary classics\, and political caricature and cartoons. Many of 
 his works were published as limited edition fine art books and as editoria
 ls in periodicals such as Collier’s\, TIME\, and The New York Post.\nA sel
 f-described “soldier in art\,” Szyk was a committed activist-artist\, advo
 cating religious tolerance and racial equality for minorities\, especially
  for Jews and black Americans.Today\, collectors around the globe prize Sz
 yk’s art for its vibrant imagery and messages\, which remain as stunning a
 nd timely as ever.\nYou can visit the conference and exhibition web site h
