Abstract

Art Young
Marshall, Margaret | January 29, 1944 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on author Art Young. It says that there was something old-fashioned about Young, about his personality, his humor, his art and his radicalism. All were indigenous in the best sense of the word and all seemed to hail from a simpler, pre-industrial U.S., where individualism was personal, not political, where humor was broad, art was not a private language, and radicalism consisted of the moral conviction that all are created equal and that it isn't fair for some people to have a lot while others have nothing. A reading of his autobiography reinforces this impression.
