ILLUSTRATOR/ARTIST:

Arthur Henry Young(January 14, 1866 – December 29, 1943) was an Americancartoonistand writer. He is best known for hissocialistcartoons, especially those drawn for the left-wing political magazineThe Massesbetween 1911 and 1917.

Art Young was born January 14, 1866, nearOrangeville, inStephenson County, Illinois. His family moved toMonroe, Wisconsinwhen he was a year old. His father, Daniel S. Young, was a grocer there; his mother was Amanda Young (née Wagner).He had two brothers and one sister.[2]His brother, Wilmer Wesley Young, studied journalism at theUniversity of Wisconsinand founded its student newspaper,The Daily Cardinal.

Young enrolled in theChicago Academy of Designin 1884, where he studied underJ. H. Vanderpoel. His first published cartoon appeared the same year in the trade paperNimble Nickel. Also that year, he began working for a succession of Chicago newspapers including theEvening Mail, theDaily News, and theTribune.

In 1888, Young resumed his studies, first at theArt Students League of New York(until 1889), then at theAcadémie Julianin Paris (1889–90). Following a long convalescence, he joined theChicago Inter-Ocean(1892), to which he contributedpolitical cartoonsand drawings for its Sunday color supplement.

In 1895 he married Elizabeth North. In 1895 or 1896, he worked briefly for theDenver Times; then, after his separation with North, moved again to New York City, where he sold drawings to the humor magazinesPuck,Life, andJudge, and drew cartoons forWilliam Randolph Hearst\'sNew York Evening Journaland SundayNew York American. From 1902 to 1906, he studied rhetoric atCooper Unionto improve his skills as a cartoonist.

Young started out as a generally apoliticalRepublican, but gradually became interested in left wing ideas, and by 1906 or so considered himself a socialist. He began to associate with such political leftists asJohn Sloanand Piet Vlag, with both of whom he would work at the radical socialist monthlyThe Masses. He became firmly ensconced in the radical environment of Greenwich Village after moving there in 1910. He became politically active, and by 1910,racialandsexual discriminationand the supposed injustices of thecapitalistsystem became prevalent themes in his work. He explained these sentiments in his autobiography,Art Young: His Life and Times(1939):

I am antagonistic to the money-making fetish because it sidetracks our natural selves, leaving us no alternative but to accept the situation and takeanykind of work for a weekly wage [...] We are caught and hurt by the system, and the more sensitive we are to life\'s highest values the harder it is to bear the abuse.[3]

In an attempt to curb this ‘abuse’, Young ran for theNew York State Assemblyon the ticket of the Socialist Party of New York City (Part of theSocialist Party of America, SPUSA) in 1913, and was unsuccessful.

One facet of the establishment Young challenged in his cartoons and drawings was theAssociated Press. His attacks became overt and damning once he joined the staff of theMassesas a co-editor and contributor, which he held from 1911 to 1918. He was one of the few original editorial members that stayed with the magazine for its entire run until it folded in December 1917. In July 1913, it published Young\'s cartoon \"Poisoned at the Source\", depicting the AP\'s president,Frank B. Noyes, poisoning a well labeled \"The News\" with lies, suppressed facts, slander, and prejudice. The cartoon was the papers explanation for the lack of national news coverage on thePaint Creek–Cabin Creek strike of 1912inKanawha County, West Virginiawhich lasted more than a year, and was characterized by deadly clashes between armed and striking miners and militia hired to defend the coal companies. The companies successfully petitioned the Federal government to declare martial law under a military tribunal, an egregious act according to the editors of theMasses.

That little had been heard of these occurrences outside of West Virginia troubled the magazine\'s staff. Young\'s cartoon and Max Eastman\'s editorial, published in the same issue, claimed the AP willfully suppressed the facts to aid the coal companies. The AP responded to this with two suits of libel against Eastman and Young in November 1913 and January 1914. When Young and Eastman\'s attorney subpoenaed the records of the AP\'s Pittsburgh office, the suits were dropped; the paper said because AP feared the evidence and testimony would be damaging if they became public.

In 1918 Young helped to establish a similar publication to theMasses, theLiberator. He also served as an illustrator andWashingtoncorrespondent forMetropolitan Magazine(1912–1917) until it released him due to his outspoken anti-war sentiments. In 1918, he again ran unsuccessfully for public office on the Socialist ticket, this time for theNew York State Senate.

Unhappy with how editors Max and Crystal Eastman and other staff members were able to live off of the struggling magazine, while he received a nominal fee or worked pro bono, Young leftThe Liberatorin 1919 to start a magazine of his own,Good Morning. It was later absorbed by theArt Young Quarterlyin 1922.

Young also contributed illustrations toThe Nation,The Saturday Evening PostandCollier\'s Weekly,The New Leader,New Masses,The Coming Nation,Dawn,The Call,The New Yorker(after 1930), andBig Stick. He wrote many books, including two autobiographies,On My Way(1928) andArt Young: His Life and Times(1939). Of special note are his series of drawings depicting Hell, published inThe Cosmopolitanand in several books, includingThrough Hell With Hiprah Hunt, available at Google Books.He issued a collection of his drawings,The Best of Art Young, in 1936.
