A Portrait of Joseph Pulitzer
To mark the 100th anniversary of the Pulitzer Prizes, the Newseum is exhibiting a rarely seen portrait of Joseph Pulitzer, the influential editor who established the prizes. Painted by noted 19th-century artist John Singer Sargent, the portrait will be displayed in the Pulitzer Prize Photographs Gallery through 2016.
Pulitzer, owner of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the New York World, provided the prizes in his will to honor the best of journalism, the arts and literature.
Turn right after the curved wall to see the portrait, located next to the gallery's interactive stations. |
