Herblock
Herbert Block worked at The Washington Post for 55 years and was widely recognized as the foremost American political cartoonist of his time. Herblock saw this art form as "a means for poking fun, for punctuating pomposity and for offering criticism." With searing wit and relentless passion, he turned a critical eye on the people and events that would make history.
At the heart of all of Herblock's work was an unwavering belief in freedom, democracy, fairness and honest public service. He also held the fundamental belief that a political cartoon should serve "some purpose beyond the chuckle." |
